The Costco effect
So I am at the S&B waiting for my departure date.
We got our first COSTCO Friday.
They opened their gas pumps up at $2.999 per gallon.
The other stations in the area which had been as much as $3.29 a gallon immediately dropped to either the same price or a few cents higher.
Costco dropped their price further to 2.959 per gallon and almost all the nearby stations have dropped to $2.999 with one even matching Costcos price.
Look at 13031 zip at gas buddy if you are curious
With the wholesale price of gas at $2.19 on the NYM and taxes in NY at about $.67 per gallon that is not bad at all
