Costco is #1!!! They are always about 7-10 cents cheaper for whatever octane you buy.

As far as how good there has is though, some may argue its crappier. I've been using it for 3yrs now Nd seems to be alright

I'm near the border as well and everyone always says oh you gotta go get your gas in america and the couple of times I have I gotta say I got really crappy mileage. I went to Sunoco as well so it's not like it was the cheap shit from the Indian reserve. How do you find your mileage as compared to the 91 octane in Canada? I would say it was easily 100km less then what I would normally get out of a tank.

Well I normally get shell there. I am assuming they should be the same in Canada? I usually average 450-500kms per tank. I drive A LOT so my mileage definitely reflects that

I made 323whp/353wtrq on Costco gas! So I'd say it's okay ahah

Keep in mind my car is not running 100% quite yet and it was tune only.

Are people driving BMW's really that concerned about this?
On a 60 litre tank saving 3 cents equals $1.80.
Is it really worth lining up to save less than two dollars?!

Just because you drive a BMW it doesnt mean you spend your money lavishly do you really think all BMW drivers are rich or careless with their money, some but not all.

Remember BMW ranges from about $30k-$100k+

Some ppl fill up 2x a month thats $3.60 x 12 = $43.20 thats already have a tank of gas!

Incorrect good sir.

That's $0.07 for regular and up to $0.12 for premium. Now that adds up fast!

When you need gas do you guys really think hey itll be cheaper 5miles further to save a a dollar of gas. Time has no value or convenience. The only time I dont fill up is if the pump is extremely slow or i dont have to and have enough in the tank. Doesnt matter what car it is.

If you are spending alot of extra time thinking i can save $5 if i drive all the way to the other side of the city to get gas thats pretty sad. smh

I hope this isn't directed to me because i can tell you that I'm 5km away from the Costco and it's on my way hm....

Case and point, I'm not going to stupidly pay a regular station $5-$8 more for the same gas. I think it's "sad" if you do otherwise.

No it wasnt directed at you. But really think about this that $5-$8 for the same gas which you get with a full tank (assuming full tank) which i doubt you'll save that much. Isnt much since you will waste(spend) that money on somethng else anyways.

Since you thought the last one was directed at you which it wasnt this one is for you...
You bought a e93, extra weight = more fuel correct?, How many times to use the back seats for actual persons? and if im right not often so why dont you remove that seat getting rid of weight therefore saving more fuel in the long run. 5-8 dollars is marginal
