I used to work for Sam's Club gas station and they would always be right at or even above the prevailing price of gas in the area. Its mostly marketed as a convenience of not having to go elsewhere to get gas. This is BS where I am.

This was an issue where I grew up in Maryland. The prices were always just a tad cheaper at the Costco station, but apparently could have been even less expensive had local rules allowed it.
