Gas in your area.....

[Podunkfla]

$3.09 and rising...

[angib]

$7.40 (per US gallon) last week at the services on a main highway - more expensive than the usual $7.00 at my local supermarket.

Just paid $4.79 a gallon!!!

And that's the LAST time I go to that gas station owned by Morris Levine.

(You have no idea how hard I'm laughing right now and rolling on the floor. Yeah, self-praise stinks, but in all of my years, this is the freaking funniest thing I've ever written!)

$3.24 thats most I've ever paid!!!! Glad I drive the co. truck home!!

Driving from here to Utah and back, the most we saw was $3.48/gal in Utah. To top it off, it was crappy 85octane gas. I didn't know they sold 85octane gas, all I've ever known was 87. I brought a 5 gallon gas can which I filled before I left. I made shure to dump my $2.71 gas in the tank while we were still in expensive gas country. It's not much in the grand scheme of things but hey, every little bit helps.

Hey Rocky!

It's good to see you both made it back safely. It was great seeing you and Mel again.

Steve put some of the 85 octane in his SUV and it started running really poorly. As with most of the trip, we were driving up and down some pretty serious mountain grades.

Low octane and high altitudes -- not a good combination.

My car calls for 91 Octane, so I get to pay more than most for my gas. And, where there used to be a 5 cent gap between grades, now there is a 10 cent gap. Grrrrrrrr.

I wonder after reading this (see link) if "regular" 87 is good for your Audi due to different rating systems. I had a 93 Passat w/ the 16V 4 cylinder that I ran 239K on mostly regular 87 even though it asked for 91 - maybe they wanted euro 91.

Also notes that regionally octane can be different, especially in Mountain states that 85 is equal to 87 because of altitude, but recommends that you not burn that fuel at lower altitude

More research needed.....

Dog gone it, gas went up $.06 over night. Now at $3.159 in Smithville Missouri. It's a little more on the Kansas side. I want to know what happened while I was sleeping?

Scott, gas on the wholesale market went up. Ours went up to $3.25. It was still $3.19 in Kansas which ha.11cents more tax than we do.

Hey Ira - Looks like 'ol Morris The Cat just gouged you badly!!! Maybe next time you'll bring him some lox and bagels before you pump gas.

I have not been able to get a definitive answer on running lower octane fuel in a car that calls for higher octane. Specifically, I don't know how it effects warrantees if something goes kaboom. I'm pretty sure the car's computer and knock sensors can handle the lower octane, but don't know what other effects the octane level has on performance and longevity.

My last Audi was a turbo, and with a turbo with a high-performance ECU, so there was more to worry about in regards to octane. But my current 6-cylindar car is stock, and normally aspirated, so there may be a negligle difference in this engine in regards to octane.

HAH!!!

And I think the price of gas just surpassed lox.

[bledsoe3]

Our gas just dropped .02.
