Costco gas stations pulling diesel

Thought it might just my local station, but apparently all Costco stations are removing diesel. Costco fuel stations gas is usually 15-20+ cents cheaper a gallon. Feb 27th last day for my station.
 
Well looks like the Costco Fuel Station employee may have been full of crap about pulling it from all stations. I emailed that fuel division about when they were updating their website, and if they were pulling from all stations. Sounds like they are pulling diesel from locations that don't have enough sales to justify the space vs unleaded fuel.

Dear Mr. Bennett,

Thank you for your email. Costco's business strategy is to sell high volumes at low prices, and fuel is no exception. The number of diesel vehicles is still a small percentage of the total U.S. fleet.

Anywhere we have or will remove Diesel is due to our diesel sales being minimal, and where we believe that we’re better able to serve our members with the converted diesel tank as additional gasoline storage.

We recognize that this might be an inconvenience as you seek the best value when refueling your diesel vehicle. We remain committed to serving you and our other members with the finest quality goods and services in all the product categories we offer. We will be update our website soon for the Concord, CA location.

Sincerely,

Mandi Jackson"
