Visited Costco Thurrock / Lakeside and noticed that fuel now available (some other branches have fuel already and there appears to be plan to extend to others).
Diesel (104.9p) was 4p cheaper than best local alternative of Tesco Lakeside (108.9p) according to petrolprices.com latest update.
As usually case with Costco, members only deal, but saving on full tank for me is ~£2.50 so I will get most of my yearly membership cost back by filling up when I visit to buy other items.
Appears to be fully automated and debit rather than credit card after first scan membership card.
Handy for M25 / A13 traffic if you are unfortunate enough to have to commute in this area.

surely 91 grade petrol is bad for your engine, didn't know this was sold in the UK.

Well spotted, that was image I grabbed from web to illustrate which must be non UK location.
As noted by srp111, I think the choices at the pump were two petrol and diesel.

Not surprisingly, no.
But I did get a nice bloke come over to ask if I needed any help using the pumps. Bit like a personal shopper service in a way.

It's also a different measuring system, our 95 is the same as USA 91 grade.
