I feel like driving out of your way to get cheeper gas in general is costing you what you would save. Capitol Hill is different - they are exorbitantly high priced. The coffee $ doesn't make much sense. Yes, people who hate waiting in lines for gas could go to a quicker spot if they were willing to save money else where, but saying that you would be paying $32 a gal. is just silly. No one is about to put coffee in their gas tanks. :-) You did not take in account for driving out of your way to said Costco station.
