>Costco gas is a solid 50 cents cheaper or more everywhere else in many of the places I have been.

Then you haven't been where I live. The nearest Costco is at $4.36. There is an Arco across the street at $4.38, a Shell 2 blocks down at $4.42 and some lesser known brands scattered nearby between $4.40 and $4.50.

I would rather spend a handful of pennies more on gas than deal with the long wait times for Costco.

If you are going to call someone deranged, maybe don't sound deranged yourself.
