Default 94.9 per gallon ??!!

Wow - I just paid 94.9 cents per gallon for regular unleaded. Hi test was still under a buck too. I think I'm gonna fill everything I own right now - including the gas cans and lawn mower. It can't get better than this but it will get worse. To top it off there was a pretty nice '73 C3 there too. December 17th and the Vetes are still on the road. This is a great winter. Now if summer would come early too!

still a buck 3 here.

Hopefully it will go down.

As for using regular...it doesn't ping, I don't see a difference in performance, so why use a higher grade? Sounds like a ricer's version of a mod. "I use premium, and stickers" :jester (no flaming please, just messing around)

Must be nice. Here in California the going price for a gallon of Premium is still about $1.59. Regular unleaded about $1.39. Why are we paying more for gasoline than the rest of the country...when it's refined right here?
Because we'll pay more than the rest of the country... and the oil companies know it. Makes me: :U

I pay that for 1 liter up here. There are 3.8 liters in a US Gallon so that makes it $3.28.
Beat that.
