Costco opens its first standalone gas station in Mission Viejo, giving members access to cheaper fuel without the retail store. The move aims to reduce congestion and boost convenience.

The existing 854-square-foot gas station sits on 3.81 acres owned by Blarney Castle Oil Company, based in Bear Lake, Mich., according to township records.
