Yep, pinching my pennies so that we can afford to retire early! (my wife and I plan on retiring in a mere 6 years, where we will both be only 52 years old)

Get my gas at Costco in Oshawa when I have to fill up. Generally in the morning on my way to work between 06:30 and 7:00. No line ups.

I'm assuming so but I thought I would ask.
In New Jersey you don't need a membership. They take any VISA card and no cash.

Thanks for the info.

On the same purchase at today's price locally, Costco would have saved $14.75 vs. the $4.50. No lineups nor traffic when I go. 50 fill ups a year $512.50 x 2 for the wife's ride and that is $1025 saved. Cause I count them, that's 102,500 pennies.

I also rent my cars from Thrifty!

and probably put in high test.


i would rather pay 1.029 for premium than 1.033 for mid grade anyways i think.

Those prices would be so nice, we add 15 cents per litre transit tax and a then nickel for carbon tax. Don't know about that no ethanol for premium as the sign above the 91 premium says 10 % ethanol at our local Costco. I use it for my Silverado. I run 94 Chevron in my C7 Vette and always have. Same for the C6 Z, And especially on the C5 Z because of syphon clogging /fuel guage problem I encountered and after GM fixed it I switched to 94 premium and even then added a bottle of TECHRON once a month.

The price of gas must be going up. The line for gas at The Queensway Costco was backed on to the street. It would have been easily a 30 minute wait. The whole area was jammed.

Yep, those thieving gas companies are gouging us to the tune of an extra 5 cents a liter this morning and another 2 cent additional gouge is forecast for Saturday morning.

Wait till Broom Hilda gets her MMGW tax added in January. The shape of things to come. Won't do a thing for the planet but will fill the treasury so even more $ can be wasted.
