What are you paying for a gallon?

$4.59 for unbranded non-ethanol premium (92)

 

I paid 3.95 for premium 93 octane... Sams Club??? Is their gas any good? just wondering because its so cheap!

 

Most "cheap" gas is running the full 10% ethanol... potentially more depending on how they are doing their blending.

Some stations actually do in-ground blending of ethanol... don't know if that's done in LA/California or not, but it is cheaper than blending at the depot and shipping it in.

I stopped running Costco/Sam's after it "turned" in 3 months when stored for the dirtbike. I had about 50 gallons in jugs and none of it even smelled "good"... ended up slowly feeding it into the 4-wheelers 5 gallons at a time.

But it wasn't just that it had turned... Two dirtbikes and a quad... ended up having to completely strip and clean the carbs. The jets had to be replaced. Every brass part was covered with a green "fuzz" and it would not scrub off.

People say "all gas is the same"
They are wrong.
The base oil stock and gasoline stock is the same.
Each brand has their own proprietary blend... cheap gas is cheap for a reason, and only one of those reasons is because it doesn't say "Chevron/Mobil/Shell"

 

3.84 yesterday at the local shell. No sams/cosco around here.

 

Too damn much. 4.13.

 

$3.68 on Ft. Benning this morning....gotta love the 4cyl!

 

4.04 for 87 octane. We run b50-b99 in the Duramax and get better MPG and its quieter. Right now it is 3.99/gal and regular b5 diesel is 4.47.

Damn it I wish I had a diesel.

 

4.23 in Santa Clara. Gas station I used to fill up at back home is 3.79.

Wanted to see what was the highest price, used this:

$5.79 is the highest nationally. Death Valley, CA

 

3.65 in New Orleans. I'm trading my v8 in for a volt lol

 

That sucks the SAMS gas isnt as good. I guess if your not planning on letting it sit in the tank for a while its not bad for the price you pay..

 

I have had people tell me they saw the same truck dump fuel at a cheap gas station and then drive down to a more expensice name brand station and dump fuel from the same truck..

 

July 7, 2008 US average cost of gas? $4.11.

April 9, 2012 US average cost of gas? $3.93.

 

That ain't no lie. I go for the cheapest gas.

 

and the cost of Kool-Aide?

 

Ya... anybody can pick and choose an individual DATE.

But the fact remains that the last two months have seen gas prices as high or higher than those of the highest two months in 2008.
The last time prices were at a record high (inflation adjusted) was when Al Gore was contesting the election results in 2000.

 

I'm doing bad by getting Arco? At most of the Shell/Chevron stations where I am at, the price for their reg 87 is about the price of the cheap gas 91/93 or something.

 

I don't think Arco is one of the worst... my main reason for avoiding them is their paypoint system and extra charge for using a credit/debit card.
Also, Arco is more frequently targeted by credit card skimmers than other stations... likely because of the paypoint system they only need one skimmer to handle multiple pumps.
Arco has had a BIG problem with skimming out here in the IE.

But they aren't a "Top Tier" fuel.

 

Lol

Do people actually believe this kinda propaganda ?

 

Goes both ways.
