Gas is down to $1.29 here in Cincinnati at the right gas stations. I think $1.30 is a reasonable price for gas here in the midwest. It was $1.00 before all the price hikes happened. $1.30 isn't too high, and it still allows the greedy oil shieks to get their extra money (like they need it!)

in Montana costs a minimum of $1.59...higher in many places in this state. Did you know that cars or SUV's can run on that stuff....even at high altitudes?

the only times I saw low octanes like that were in high altitudes.


I remember Jacksonville, Richmond, DC, all having a minimum of 87 octane (relatively low-lying places), but a gas station on the way to a ski place east of Seattle, and Salt Lake City had 85 octane, right next to the 87, 89 and 90-something.


Oh yeah... gas price... uhm..
 
i think it was 1.549 to-day.

down a tick each grade at the local Mobil.


As for foreign prices, the price has to be mostly tax. Going to things (heresay mostly) like free healthcare, elderly care and everything else in the US has to pay for, it comes out almost even.


For an extra $2 a gallon ($2 * 15 gal * 52 = $1560) I wouldn't cringe. I paid out the wazoo for insurance I didn't use and Soc. Sec. I'm sure I'll never see.

Lowest self-serve in my neighborhood:


87 reg ................. 1.709
89 plus ................ 1.809


They didn't have the premium price posted.


Most other places are 1.759 and up for regular, with 0.08 - 0.10 increases between grades.


Higher prices on the neighbor islands.

$1.27 regular in my truck today at lunch. Only got two gallons, just enough to get me to work.... and then this afternoon I'll take different way back to the trailer and load up on $ 1.19 per gallon stuff. The tank should only have about a gallon lift in it by then....after fillup...I'll have enough left over for a beer or two. In prophet's region that savings could buy a 12 pack.
