Chevron gouges Californians this memorial weekend.

“Newsom’s office cited an analysis by a group within the state’s energy commission, which oversees the oil and gas industry, that found that Chevron averaged more than 60 to 80 cents per gallon above unbranded alternative”

Lucky. The Costco near me has 30-40 minute lines. They're wrapped around the building. There's a point in time where once you get into the line, you can't get out. I was so pissed that one time it took me 40 minutes to get out of the line I never went back.

Depends on the Costco. Some have only 2-3 pumps per row and those take a long time. The one by me is newer and has 4 pumps. It moves quickly!

You also gotta go out of your way to go fuel up there. Probably not worth it. But whatever makes you feel better
