That's what regular cost at the end of September too. It dropped .04 cents for a couple of weeks there but went back up. It's not such a shock when they've been overcharging you for months on end already.

to $2.74 for my fillup yesterday, everyone else running $2.85 ~ $2.89 for 87 octane. City's at $3 or more for 87 octane. Like pf_flyer said, what the heck is going on? Are things reversed now, demand is down so prices go up? Pre-Halloween rush? Too much rain? I really don't beleive it's just the dollar having a slight decrease in value as being the sole reason. |

...my wife's Buick LaCrosse last night. Regular costs more than what premium did a month ago. Good thing I had a 5 cents off a gallon from Acme Markets from food shopping earlier that day! She has a tendency to run her car practically empty while I keep all my cars topped off.

| Last time I filled my wife's LS400 at Costco on September 2nd the price was $3.05. I filled yesterday and premium was at $2.95. The old boat got 17.75 MPG on that tank of gas. Best vehicle we own for mileage. | |

Replying to: lemko (Oct 28, 2009 4:21 am) Same here. Looking over my records I actually paid more per gallon yesterday than I did at this time last year!! Earlier in the month I was paying over a dollar less when compared to last year. Let your wife know that in-tank pumps really don't like constantly being ran empty, the fuel actually helps keep them cool. But seeing as it's a GM I'm sure the tank probably has about 3 ~ 5 gallons left when the gauge reads empty. |

was for $2.75 for 87 octane. A few other places were listed for $2.73 according to gasbuddy but were out of my way for the errands I was running. Most are still in the $2.79 ~ $2.85 range. In the city over the weekend I saw prices as high as $3.10 and as low as $2.85 for 87 octane. It's hard to tell if prices are going to decrease further the more we go into winter - last year this time prices began to plummet. |

Replying to: jae5 (Oct 28, 2009 9:17 am) Hmm, that's good to know. Maybe that's one reason why my Intrepid's low fuel light comes on when it still has about 4 gallons left, while my '79 New Yorker, which still uses the old mechanical pump mounted at the front of the engine, triggers the light with only two gallons left. I'm sure those in-tank fuel pumps aren't exactly cheap to replace, either.

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 03, 2009 9:54 am) But I do usually fill up before the light comes on. And you're absolutely right that in-tank pumps aren't cheap to replace. We're now in the low $2.50s range for RUG in central VA. But there are huge variations for the higher grades -- some places have the once-typical 10-cent increments, while others are pushing nearly 20 cents! I guess it says premium buyers aren't as price sensitive.
