## Resource

Costco’s gas stations are becoming a major magnet, drawing in customers with rock-bottom prices as inflation bites—and it’s working. Their fuel sales hit record highs, pulling shoppers into warehouses where they’re spending more on groceries and essentials. Beyond gas, they’re eyeing tariff refunds to pass savings to members, reinforcing their “lower prices first, raise them last” promise. It’s not just about fuel—it’s about loyalty, value, and turning every pump visit into a shopping spree. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
