The typical dealer mark-up on gasoline is $0.18 per gallon. In extreme situations this might rise to as much as $0.35 (typically when oil prices are declining) or decline to zero (when oil or refining capacity is in short supply). Costco sells gasoline at break-even as a promotional item to bring customers to their store location. So the Costco discount of $0.18 in your area is about what you'd expect.
