    Costco sells Top Tier gas and you can usually get premium at mid-grade prices.

    Not me... I preferred Shell gas, but wife has been telling me to fill up at Costco or King soopers, since we get discounts at both. This will be the excuse I need. At this point, I think there is very little difference in gas brands, so my very old brand loyalty was pretty stupid.
    Well Costco is anti-gun too so...

    Not even close to all... You might want to do a little more digging on your statements.

    Published numbers are sub 100 Phillips 66's and Shell stations combined, statewide. There are ~240 Shell stations alone statewide...

    They have contracts to provide fuel to many other Phillips and Shell stations statewide, but they don't own or operate them...

    I don't actually care. I just find your pick and choose stance on financial support of anti-gun companies a little fickle...

    Enjoy the feeling of moral superiority!

    When I get out of this shithole state, I'll be looking to get employed by folks that either encourage, or at least don't mind if I'm carrying.

    Just so everyone knows. The only refineries around are both owned by Suncor, a Canadian oil company. All gas in Colorado, at least front range comes from that refinery. The only difference in the different brands is the additive blends which are proprietary to the end oil company. You cannot avoid supporting Suncor and still drive a vehicle with an internal combustion vehicle, not gonna happen. They also own franchise stations all over the country. While the policy sucks, it is common with all large companies especially oil companies because they are high security operations, at least at the refineries you have. To go through very stringent security. They also don’t want to be sued by some scumbag armed robber because he was shot on their property and they have deep pockets.

    They actually only supply 35% of the gas/diesel in CO.

    One of my friends FIL's used to run refineries in PA, and when he saw the one in Commerce City made a comment to the effect of "I didn't know they made them that small"...

    Having been to the big ones on the coasts, it is kind of impressive that they are at the production rates they are...
