POLL: Filling up gas at Costco.

I went out with some coworkers for lunch a few days ago and I stopped off at Costco to fill up.

Even when the lines are long, it's like a 5 minute wait.

Fortunately mine is on the right on both cars, so it makes life easier.

I have one Infiniti and one Mazda - both on right side

Super rare on Mazda and less than 25% of Infiniti have right side gas.

The Mazda is a 2012 - so maybe they switched everything over recently?
