Costco reported record gasoline sales volumes in its fiscal Q3 2026, driven by customers seeking cheaper fuel amid prices exceeding $4 per gallon nationwide and $6 on the West Coast. While gas accounted for 10% of total sales, the low-margin product squeezed overall profit margins, even as it drove a 5% increase in warehouse foot traffic and helped same-store sales rise 9.8% year-over-year.
