That's a fair spread between regular and premium
It's commonly 50-60c between 87 and 93

I noticed in Michigan that the spread gets smaller as gas prices get on the very high side and vice versa.
Yeah, normally about $.70/Gal to move to premium around here. Some places are more. The current price doesn't seem to matter.
I just looked at the station closest to me. $3.19/$3.49/$4.09 So my regular unleaded is $.58 cheaper and the premium is $.02 more. Makes perffect sense.

Not too much of a spread there.
However, the REAL spread is 49-state gas verses California gas. I bought some ethanol-free gas this morning for the lawn mowers and paid a dollar less than what you are showing for your regular unleaded. Regular unleaded here was even cheaper.

Where I fill up premium is 16% more. It used to be 28% more.
Typically around 60 cents here.

Yeah it’s usually way higher here. About 2 weeks ago it was over $4 a gallon because of that pipeline hack here on the east coast. I only run mid grade or premium so I always have to pay more. The mid is typically 30-40 cents more. Premium at least 50-60 cents more. For some reason when you put regular in my truck it shakes really bad and shuts off I have no idea why.
.70 more a gallon for 93 vs 87 octane at most stations in central Ohio.
My dad bought ethanol free 90 octane for his boat in Port Clinton, OH at $3.999 a gallon on Friday at the marina.

Seems like the "corporate" stations have a 60c spread from 87 to 93 but privately-owned stations, even those branded as Shell, Sunoco, etc will be $1.00 difference.
I do remember the 10c spread between grades. I really didn't care though until my current car that really likes 89-93 so much better than 87.

Way back when regular was under a dollar per gallon.
It is usually a $.10 jump between grades here. Sometimes $.15.
Good lord
It is all because of the T word.
Here in Utah most stations have a $.30 spread between regular and premium. There is a station near me that has a $.60 spread, so I won't patronize them.
When I visit my son in Kentucky, it is typically a $80 to $1.00 spread. It is a hard pill to swallow.

This was a couple days ago before I entered my Shell Rewards number.
