I'm a huge Costco fan!

One of my go-to items every time I'm there is the popular rotisserie chicken.

You can't beat the price, and it's always delicious.

Recently, I came across a Finance Buzz article about potential improvements Costco could make to enhance the shopping experience for its members.

Nothing about the rotisserie chicken, but some of the suggestions included a more functional app and website, better produce offerings, and a stop to moving items around the store, apparently causing shoppers to go on a scavenger hunt looking for things.

While I don't personally share any of those concerns, there's one upgrade Costco is making that didn't make the list, and it's something that's making members, including myself, very happy!

Here are just some of the many comments Costco members made online after hearing about the change.

"This is awesome! Thanks, Costco!!!"

"Super exciting!!"

"This is very convenient for customers."

Costco members are happy to hear that gas station hours have been extended, giving people more time to fill up!

And when you're done getting gas, make sure to stop in and get a strawberry-banana smoothie.

It was recently added to the food court menu, and it certainly sounds delicious.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
