Replying to: pf_flyer (Oct 16, 2005 8:58 am)  in central ct, regular gas is in the 2.639 to 2.679 range. as an aside, i don't usually use shell gas because it is usually a bit more expensive than exxon/mobil. the other day i had some time before picking one of my kids up at school and needed to fill up. the closest station is a shell so i went there. i immediately noticed the engine ran smoother and i didn't have to put as much pressure on the gas pedal as i usually do to accelerate or maintain speed. i drove the explorer for the next couple of days to confirm. it is running smoother. however, i now have 49,999.x miles on it. x is definitely >5. i figure the next time i look at it, it is going to hit 50,000, so i'm letting it sit for a while.

We're going to Pittsburgh this weekend, so for once it might be better NOT to fill it up before leaving? ($2.499 is still the lowest here for 87 - Central Virginia).

| Regular is $2.60 at the Sunoco on Verree and Rhawn in NE Philly. Ultra is $2.82. | |
| I caught a glimpse of the Citgo sign through the trees, and I can't be positive, but I think I saw 87 octane for $2.6X9 and 93 for $2.859! | |

| Cedar Rapids, Iowa, here. I was checking another site that lists gas prices and it concurs with what I noted on Tuesday. Prices in town are ranging from $2.44-$2.49 depending on which station you go to. That is for 89 octane with ethanol, which is widely available in the state of Iowa. For those of you who are not familiar with ehtanol, it is a corn based ethanol product similar in nature to the product HEAT that many people in other parts of the country add to their gas tank in the winter. Ethanol helps reduce moisture in the gas tank, line, and engine and helps to keep things nice and clean. Most people in Iowa who use ethanol use it year round. It does not hurt your engine nor void any car warranties and seems to actually give your engine a slight boost. The state of Iowa gives ethanol blended gas a tax break because it is a corn product, corn is a big grain crop in Iowa as most know, so, ethanol blend is usually the most inexpensive that you can purchase. Ethanol actually adds about two points of octane rating to the gas. Thus we have 87,89,93 octane available to us. I hope the prices keep dropping and, BOY am I glad I don't own an SUV. LOL | |
