Club grocer Costco will start requiring membership cards at its New Jersey gas pumps beginning July 5.
Costco is known for its cheaper gas prices, charging only $4.83 per gallon Tuesday. New Jersey’s average price sits at over $5 per gallon. Previously, anyone was welcome to fill up there.
In New Jersey, it could be considered a violation of state law to restrict gas sales. Other warehouse clubs, including Costco, attempted to enact a similar policy in 2004, but they ultimately gave up.
