Costco has limited members to two purchases per week, but it's motor oil not gasoline at the pump. The viral claim about a Costco gas limit two purchases turned out to be about Kirkland Signature motor oil instead.
The Real Story Behind the Costco Motor Oil Limit
PolyMarket and others posted headlines claiming Costco capped gas buys and raised prices. That was misleading. The actual policy hits Costco motor oil limit for ICE vehicle owners swapping out engine oil. Gas pumps remain unaffected for now, though Costco gas prices rising continue to frustrate drivers waiting in long lines for modest savings.
What This Means for Tesla Owners
I'm glad I don't deal with either the gas line or the oil changes anymore. Every six months or so, ICE drivers face $100–$200 service visits plus the hassle. The Costco motor oil limit just adds another small pain point.
Rising fuel costs keep pushing more people toward EVs. Inventory for popular Teslas is already tight, and Costco gas prices rising only accelerate Tesla demand gas prices pressure. EV savings vs gas cars become even more obvious when you factor in no oil changes and cheaper "fuel" at home.

Bottom Line
The Costco gas limit two purchases headline was clickbait, but the underlying trend of Costco gas prices rising and added restrictions on motor oil still hurts gas car owners. EV savings vs gas cars keep growing. Now is a smart time to secure your Tesla while rates and inventory allow.
