Glad mine isn't this high. We're paying $2.79 in my small town and we still hate it. But the 100% gas that we use in our small engines is $3.09 if that makes you feel any better.
You lucky bastards. I'm too lazy to calculate price in England after conversion pound/dollar and US v. Imperial gallon. But all my life we are paying roughly double what you pay.
I made these myself. And I took a regular pink highlighter and made a border. If you have a printer you can do this with any kind of Avery labels (or their knockoff counterparts).
LOL good luck to them. These particular labels are not of great quality at all (on purpose) - they're a massive pain in the ass to get off of anything, and they definitely don't come off in one piece.
Why do some states have so many gas choices? Only seen 87, 90, and 93 here in California…with the exception of one gas station that sold a “race fuel” that was like 98 octane
It doesn't really cost the gas station anything. They only need two tanks (87 and 93). All the other octanes get made by mixing ratios of 87 and 93 (e.g. 50% of each makes 90). 90 octane should always be the average of 87 and 93, but it's usually a little bit pricier which the gas station takes as effectively pure profit.
Some people also are more inclined to choose a better octane if they can buy something not at top end. This happens because people mistakenly think a higher octane benefits your car. (It doesn't help at all if engine isn't optimized for the higher octane... and if it is then you can't use the cheaper octane).
While it's a method of squeezing a little bit more out of customers it's actually not a bad thing for consumers who know what they are doing. If my car requires 91 octane and the gas station doesn't offer it, I have to go with 93 (or blend it manually by pumping the right proportion manually - which no one does).
It's not the case at every gas station (though we do have race fuel at certain pumps too), but this one in particular has 5 different unleaded plus diesel. I'm not sure why to be honest, I'm just used to it, I guess. I'm in Ohio.
Amazing. I have a 2004 volvo and it is supposed to run on 95,which it did OK for most of its life. No longer though it starts pinking like crazy and I have to run it on 97 which is fairly common here in UK, or 95 if that's all that I can get.
I took the advice of someone here and made some labels on a printer, and I keep them in the car for when I fuel up.
nice work ....salute patriot
Lol good idea
I wish my gas was this cheap. :-(

Not really. I just bought regular gas at Sam's Club last week for $3.10. The surrounding gas stations were around $3.29.

I've been seeing a lot of " trump won " written ok money. One dollar 5 dollar and 20 dollar bills
In Europe it can be anything like 7 dollars a gallon, probably varies up/down but it’s unlikely ever as cheap as the US, even at current Biden prices!
70% of the end user cost can be made up of tax and carbon tax. No one wants that.
There is a site called numbeo.com shows living cost all around the world.
Quick look see on numbeo it’s $1.50 per litre of gas in Paris and then $0.55 per litre of gas in Witchita!

Interesting, thanks :)

Love it. I might go with Chyna Joe Biden.
