youve never been to a Costco?

ITT: people naming no name ass people saying they bought an electric car, then switching back to gas and then preaching it like it’s gospel.

But you have more and more people on these social media platforms stating they bought an electric car and never going back to gas and now that doesn’t count?

Lmaoooooooooo

As much as I love ICE holy shit I can’t wait for 2035, that will put all this bullshit to bed already lmaooooo

Never for gas

Even during extreme shortages the stations I go to never looked like that, but I don't get gas from QT, RT, Sam's, Costco, Walmart, Kroger, etc. I remember not being able to find 93 anywhere for 1 day over a weekend but got some the next day and was the only person there.

Literally every rest stop gas station on the turnpike looks like that lol.

People just be bullshittin lmao

It’s truly too bad that this forum doesn’t have some type of award for the forums biggest troll because you would win by a long shot. I’m actually kind of impressed at this point. You absolutely don’t give a crap.

200 yards away for gas that’s one cent less a gallon you do not see this. But my Costco is the same way every freaking weekend. That’s why I don’t get gas there anymore. I’m not waiting to save $.20.

I have never shopped at Costco.

What exactly are these people saving per gallon, to endure waiting in line?

Versus going to next corner and instantly filling up at Shell or Mobil?

[M5Rick]

Costco gas is no good for M cars as only 97RON over here and they require 98 RON minimum, the nearest one to me is over 30 mi away and too far.

$.01-$.02. That’s it. However, Costco is pretty awesome for all kinds of other things. I get all my meats there and coffee and lots of other stuff.

I'm.in the UK. Costco super diesel is 20p lesser per litre than shell/BP. That's a £15 saving on a single refill. Tbh I queue up on worst days for 10 minutes but get 500 mile range on a full tank and save £15 plus ... on good days no queue at all.. what's not to like

Actually, if I could get that kind of savings for regular gas, I would wait 10 minutes also. We just don’t have that kind of savings at our local Costco. Like I said only one one or two cents a gallon savings.

Over here, regular is normally about 10c/L cheaper at Costco. Even more for premium
Only time I’d go is usually very first thing in the morning, way before the stores even open

I'd rather chew tinfoil than sit in a line up at Costco for gas.

Today was decent, since the fill up is on the right side of the 1LE, I can usually get gas in a reasonable amount of time, but for my other car I don’t even bother, no point to it. My time is too valuable.

This was pretty cool.

Wanted to fill up the G80. I always use shell. V-power is all i use. However i go there and there's a filling truck there, no thanks. So i go 1/4 mile up the road to the exxon. I guess people couldn't wait for the shell as well so they decided to go here. Not many cars so i decided to wait.

But one pickup was hogging 2 pumps. Not on purpose, he just had a gigantic pickup. So i waited. No big deal. But then another person was already in front of me so he should be quick since gas is quick to get right?

Nah not really, 2 of the pumps were out of order. More cars were starting to pull in so i couldn't just drive around to the next aisle of pumps. Dude in front of me had a car full of kids. So the kids get out and went inside the exxon mini-mart. It's all good. Kids gotta get their snacks.

Finally they got done pumping but stayed at the pump for about 2 minutes. I totally get it. You gotta make sure the kids are buckled up because maybe they were going on a road trip today, since today was pretty nice out. I waited patiently. I'm a patient guy. They finally left.

I pull up, said what's up to the attendant since i do come here sometimes if shell is too busy or if the filling truck is there, like today.

I go fill up. Was about 59 bucks. Yikes. Totally different than the 8 bucks to charge my tesla.

So filling up the G80 today cost me 59 bucks. Including the trip time to shell, then leaving shell, then doing the whole fiasco at exxon.

About 23 minutes. A couple of minutes short of visiting a tesla supercharger.

I'll stick to home charging with the tesla vs the inconsistency of gas fill ups, especially during these times where the weather is nice and people parading gas stations.

2035 on the move!

So this is considered a typical gas station stop? 23 min? Must be like those folks that have to wait in line for 2 hours to charge their EV. Pretty typical...

Really? By me Costco is generally a good 20+ cents cheaper than the surrounding stations.

Who has to wait?

The tesla app shows you ALL of their stations and in REAL TIME, shows how many available charging stalls are available. So if a location has 12, and 2 people are currently using it, your app will say 10/12.

It's not hard, we're all adults. We know how to plan.

But i could also charge at home as well. And i have level 1. Perfectly fine.

8 bucks to charge sure sounds lovely rather than 50,60, 70, 80 bucks or more depending on when they feel like raising gas, WHICH IS NOW, because summer is coming lmaooooooooo
