Quality of Costco gas???

I usually go to Costco for gas but today I used Unocal 76 and it seems to pull harder. Could it just be psicological or is the quality of Costco gas not as good as Unocal.

I've been hitting off the Texaco pump here-by choice. $1.529 for 93

From what I understand...

Costco buys gas from whatever supplier provides them with the best price. I got this from a so-so source so I don't know. I have 9000 miles already, with probably more than half on Costco gas. Nothing seems wrong so far but I noticed the last time I filled up in Burbank, the car idled a little rough and stuttered for a few seconds.

A friend of mine had a G20 that would flash its MIL whenever he filled up at Costco. Whatever that means.
