Costco where I buy while at work, is $3.439 regular and $3.939 premium. Premium had hit $4.079 two weeks ago.
Premium is troubling, it isn't like it was in 1999 where it was elastic. Back then, if there wree a new 18 cent gas tax, regular was 18 cents more overnight. But premium was something less than the tax, maybe 10 cents.
Remember the days when premium was 20 cents more than regular, regardless if regular were $0.999, or $3.099? This was literally the case in 1999, and after the hurricane Katrina in summer 2005. Mid grade 10 cents more, premium 20 cents, even when regular was over $3. This spread remained nearly fixed.

I have run into much premium fraud here from independent stations. Anyone with a high HP turbo motor can tell in short order
I try only to stick with TT established stations . And you pay up or if you pay down you get screwed
In NC locally, 87, average $3.50-$3.60. I generally get 30-40 cents off gal once a month with grocery store rewards points.
I rembere that. The spread was so small it was not a big deal to get premium.
Now premium is 25% more, there is no way an tiny improvement in mpgs (which I contend is theoretically possible) will make up such a huge difference.
Still I stick with premium.
My Patherfinder has nearly 190,000 miles onnit.
It has never pinged but at that milage summetime knock becomes a concern especially near sea level.
And I live near sea level in Florida with hot summers.
Sheetz is entering the area I live in and opening several new locations. The newest in my city opened last week and had regular for $2.89 (other stations were around $3.59). I did see one of their new pumps also had E-0 90 octane at $3.69 which makes this only the second station around with that option. However the other station was at $6.29 for their E-0. I am within a few miles of several marinas by Lake Erie but have never checked any of them to see if they have E-0.
We have somewhat of a gas war here with a new Sheetz opening up.
I paid $2.99 @ Get Go yesterday.
Could have gotten $2.96 @ Sheetz, but I had .90 of fuelperks about to expire.
So that took me to $2.09. Paid with my Discover card, which is 5% rebate until the end of the month.
Took me to $1.99 gallon. Bought all 30 allotted at that price. Not bad.

$6.09 for regular near my house. $5.59 in town.
If you all havent tried the Upside app yet, you may want to look into it. It can help save you a few extra cents per gallon.

Here is the traded price of gasoline. It happens to be the same price as 10 years ago. Enjoy.
3.19 at 3 local stations - 1 of them is top tier
