Is Costco diesel ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD)?

Yes. All diesel sold at Costco is ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) with a maximum of 15 ppm sulfur content, meeting EPA requirements. Costco diesel is also additized with detergent additives to keep fuel systems clean and improve engine performance.

Costco Gas Prices & Membership

Do you need a Costco membership to buy gas?

Yes, a valid Costco membership is required to purchase fuel at Costco gas stations. This applies to both gasoline and diesel. Your Costco membership card is used as payment identification at the pump. In some states, non-members may be able to use Costco gas stations if they have a Costco Shop Card (gift card), but this varies by location.

How much cheaper is Costco gas compared to other stations?

Costco gas is typically 10-30 cents per gallon cheaper than competing stations in the same area. The savings come from Costco's high-volume, low-overhead model. For diesel, savings can be even more significant, especially in states like California and Washington where diesel prices are higher.

Can I pay with a credit card at Costco gas stations?

Costco gas stations accept Visa credit cards (in the US), debit cards, Costco Shop Cards, and Costco Anywhere Visa cards. In Canada, Mastercard is accepted. Payment methods are the same at the pump as inside the warehouse.

Hours & Operations

What are Costco gas station hours?

Costco gas station hours vary by location but are typically 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM on weekdays and 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM on weekends. Diesel hours may differ from gasoline hours at some locations. Always check specific location hours on our map before making a special trip.

Is Costco gas open on Sundays?

Yes — Costco gas stations are open on Sundays, typically from 6:00 AM to 7:00 or 8:00 PM, depending on the location. Sunday hours are usually shorter than weekday hours, and some smaller or rural locations may have more limited Sunday schedules. The gas station opens before the warehouse on Sundays, so you can fuel up even if the warehouse itself is still closed. Check our interactive map for specific Sunday hours at your local Costco.

What are Costco gas station holiday hours?

Costco gas stations are closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day, and may have reduced hours on Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Memorial Day. On most other federal holidays, gas stations operate on normal or slightly reduced schedules. Because holiday hours vary by location and are set at the warehouse level, we recommend checking the specific location on our map before heading out on a holiday.

What time does Costco gas close?

Most Costco gas stations close between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM depending on the day of the week and the location. Weekday closing times are typically later (9:30–10:00 PM) than weekend closing times (7:00–8:00 PM). Some high-traffic locations in major metro areas may stay open as late as 10:00 PM seven days a week. The warehouse and the gas station have separate hours — the gas station usually opens earlier and closes later than the warehouse.

What time does Costco gas open?

Most Costco gas stations open between 5:30 AM and 6:30 AM on weekdays, and 6:00 AM on weekends. The gas station typically opens 1–2 hours before the warehouse itself, making it popular with early commuters and commercial drivers.
