I thought some of you might be interested in the following note I sent to Costco after reading a recent article in their monthly magazine along with their reply.
I've used Costco gas in my cars for the last few years but was always a little leery about the quality of their gas and particularly their additives package. It's good to know that they have now met the Top Tier gas standards with their gasoline nationwide.
My note to Costco:
I just finished reading your "Making the Grade" article in the April edition of The Costo Connection and I send my sincere thanks to Jeff Cole and his team for doing the work necessary to bring Top Tier gasoline to Costco's pumps.
I used Costco gas in my last high performance sports car but always was a bit concerned about the exact quality standards it met. That car did fine for the seven years I owned it but now that I've replaced it with another it's good to know that Costco gasoline will be taking care of it as well on the inside as I do on the outside.
Thank you Costco for the outstanding value you bring to the consumer.
Mr. M
Costco's reply:
Mr. M, thank you for your kind remarks. It's taken us some time to obtain Top Tier approval as it requires that we include the additional deposit control additives in all our fuel nationwide. It took a long time to get the necessary government approvals in California. However, we started our additive program in Washington State, so our fuel has contained the higher levels here since mid-2011.
