Costco opened its second members-only gas station on O'ahu yesterday, selling fuel at a 16-stall station on Alakawa Street in Iwilei across from the wholesale club's 18-month-old warehouse store.

Store manager Robert Loomis said he expected the station to sell 12,000 gallons during a quiet opening yesterday, with sales increasing to around 36,000 gallons a day after members get used to using the station.

At $1.86 per gallon of regular-grade gas and $1.99 for premium, prices were between 2 cents and 24 cents less than a handful of stations within a few miles.
