Well, I have to tell you, DC. The local owners are fuming big time because Costco is now selling gas. It turns out that Rockland County law forbids selling gasoline to members only, so Costco is allowed to sell the gasoline to everyone. They don't advertise the fact, but they can't turn you away.
I belong to Costco, so I never knew that it was open to everyone. However, the local paper had a front-page article about it. And guess who tipped off the local paper? One of the local gas station owners! He was so furious when he found out that Costco Gasoline was open to everyone that he called the local paper to complain about it! He's charging 40 to 50 cents a gallon MORE, and he's the one who let everyone know that they could buy gas there!
