Reply #20: The interesting thing is the price differences between [View All]

regular unleaded, premium and super premium. Usually the differences are about a $.10 between each one (ie Regular $2.00, 80 octane $2.10, super $2.20).

My car is happier with the 80 octane (and I've found I get 5 or 6 more miles/gallon with it). When I filled up last week, regular unleaded was $2.18/gallon and the premium was $2.36 - an $.18 difference; (I noticed diesel was $3.03). Most stations only post the price for cheapest grade as that's what people notice and use. True, the other grades have come down, but the differences are still larger. Though, as the CBS morning show told us the other morning, I'm sure this has nothing to do with the election, it's just that supplies are steady. :sarcasm:
