On my way to pick up my 87 year old mother from an eye surgery and pulled into a station to get gas in North Austin. No premium only 87 regular. Station next door had it. $3.59 that’s a bit steep so only got 10 bucks. Must just be a local thing here.

Well over $4 in California and it's only 91... The cheap 87 is just under $4 a gallon. like 3.89 near me if you pay cash or use the station brand credit card.

I Might start running E85. In the past E85 was only a little over $1 cheaper. Not worth the hassle for the loss in mileage.

Longer this big ol' boat stays wedged in the Suez, price just gonna keep going up, along with all the other reasons it's headed that way :/

It was a problem in AZ for a little while also. Some stations would run out of all grades completely and others never had any issues.

No shortage here in South Carolina.
Last week 93 was $2.99, today it's dropped to $2.89

Yea that's a good price, I do pretty good on QT 93 for cost and quality and have not had many issue's.

**** I wish it was that price here. Sam's Club and Costco are the cheapest around at 3.26 for 91. Most other places are in the 3.45-3.50 range.

Same here QT just across the NC/SC state line at the Buster Boyd bridge. Lot's of NC drivers cross over the river to the QT for SC's lower fuel prices. On that note I've read somewhere to try to avoid busy stations with multiple pumps because the underground tanks stay agitated (debris) because of the constant pumping. Same thing when you're re-fueling when the tanker trucks are filling the underground tanks.

a few folks on the vette forums swear by Torco in their race cars.
i might just need to man up & buy a case because they sell that trash 85 gas at most stations (though a lot of local owners actually mark it as "sub-standard"), and 91 is the best within at least a day's drive. technically the altitudes here (3400-7000') make up for 1-2 points, but i don't like running that hard around here on it.
