PASig-
We've been $3.09 for regular since Saturday in this area.

As for the flooding if the corn crop, we could live with no ethanol in our gas.

Gas is more expensive than diesel now for my area, so there's that

This may be part of it.

Higher oil prices work to increase gasoline pricing with very little lag. Crude drops take awhile to decrease gasoline retail prices because price drops rely on the dynamics of competition among gasoline retailers.

RUG in Tucson is $2.80. 91 octane is around $3.12. The BMW R1200R uses 91 octane, but gives me 51MPG. About same fuel mileage of the 2015 VW TDI I sold back to VW.

D2 (Diesel) is now about 20 cents a gallon more than RUG in Tucson.

Of course, the "experts" tell us nobody wants a Diesel powered car.

I get 91 octane so I don’t know how much regular gas costs but the premium went up from $.3.85 to $4.19. Did we lose a bunch of refineries?

Just filled up with premium at Costco the other day and paid $3.85

Do you like Costco gas compared to name brands? Cuz I've never tried it but have a hook-up at my local store, if I were to go.

I started using it on the recommendation of both my Porsche and Mercedes mechanics.

I've been happy with the way my cars have been running on it...haven't noticed a difference in performance...and I'm usually saving $.30-.40 per gallon (comparing Premium)

Costco on Sunday was $2.67. Everywhere else is around $2.77.

I have a 3.5l ecoboost in a 2018 expedition. I only put Shell or Costco 87 octane in it. It seems to run slightly better on the Costco. But who knows.

Costco is far from me and shell is right around the corner so I put Shell into it 90% of the time. Unless I'm making a trip to Costco and my gas is under half, then I fill it there.

I try to fill up at Sam's Club when I can. They carry 87 and 93 with a 35 cent differential between the two. Most places have 87, 89, and 93. With a 30 cent differential between each grade, or 60 cents between 87 and 93. My car requires 93 (yes, it really does), so I save a good bit. Coupled with Sam's price on 87 is currently 25 cents lower than anywhere else and I get 5% back on my Sam's Club MasterCard.

Costco in US, Canada, and Mexico use premium additives at the correct concentration which have qualified them for Top Tier. It's one of the differentiators from Sam's Club who isn't Top Tier.

Here in central NH, gas is around $2.60. I remember paying nearly five bucks a gallon a few years back. I am not complaining one bit.

Racetrac and QT are the only stations locally that have additional processes to remove any water from the fuel before it leaves the distribution plant.

Mine runs on 93 Octane and I get about 11.8 MPG. Can't say that I ever worried about fuel prices before, but if they get to $5 a gallon I may reconsider.

Given the unrest in Venezuela (they were one of our top 4 supplier for many years until recently), I'm wondering if this isn't an attempt to prep us for the upcoming war in Iran that will take their production offline.

And I thought $2.70 for regular here in Orlando was bad. This is a great reason why I'm trying to keep my 2003 Civic running for as long as it can. It's paid off, it's cheap to insure and it still gets great mileage.

$2.59 at Costco today. Using the Costco citibank credit card, there's a 4% rebate, so that makes it $2.49 after the rebate.

Wait what? Combined they own zero point zero distribution terminals. How do they have a "process" at someone else's distribution terminal that not even the owner of the distribution terminal has?
