    We all love cali right? It's the best state in the union right? Pot's practically legal, pussy dripping from the trees, views galore? Snow, beaches deserts within hours of the Bay Area? Right guys? That's why we love it? Smog, worse traffic in the country, shootings, potholes the size of Rhode Island?

    Dude, you know you don't have to put 91 octane in these trucks right, all that stuff is a sham anyways, 87 works just fine.

    chance what?

    Octane does not dictate quality. Octane is simply a measure of resistance to compression driven ignition.

    I know the City is the worst, Arco used to be pretty good, the Safeway gas stations are okay with the club card, Costco is probably going to be the cheapest but I have to go re up my membership.

    Beef, you're 21 right, there's a Golden Rule, there are two things that you never talk about in a bar, politics and religion. I'm not going to even get into politics in this forum. I will say this, it's gone way beyond right and left, it's going to get really nasty here shortly, I'm forty and in the trades, i've never seen it this bad, my father who is 64 has never seen it this bad, people who lived through the great depression have never seen it this bad. Half the houses in your county are either under water or in foreclosure.

    4.19 for regular is the cheapest around. In other burbs it's 4.39 and in the city, jeezus, it's about 4.50-4.70.
