Well, that's why I said to take it with a grain of salt. He mentioned that his car seems to be vibrating a bit harsher with Costco premium vs. Shell premium. Pretty sure everyone in this thread so far other than me lives in the States, and gas across the border can vary in quality greatly.
But yeah, there are many variables I have mentioned before that can contribute to this.

If you only fill up with 87, then the price saving is debatable.
Costco is still a good membership to have in general though. You can save a lot of money on bulk items.

Doesn't make much sense for a single guy like me, though. I don't buy enough to justify the membership, and in general, I like getting stuff fresh.
Usually I just leech off friends who have the membership to buy stuff like razor blades. IMO you need about 3 people in the household for the membership to really make sense, or you have a massive freezer and are okay with a rather repetitive diet.
