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.

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 03, 2009 9:54 am) Most times you have to drop the tank to get to them, or remove the truck bed; a few vehicles have access panels but even then it's a pain.  Oh, and most seem to go right after you fill the tank Also about all in-tank pumps are pusher design, as are most aftermarket external electric pumps. They push fuel better than pull while the on-block, lever-type pumps are puller; they have the lever creating the vacuum or "pull", to pull the fuel to the carb. |

| was for $2.65. Most other stations are at $2.72 or $2.76. Not sure what to expect in the next couple weeks with the upcoming holiday and official X-mas shopping kick-off. | |

Drifting slowly downward, very slowly. The cheapest for RUG is now about $2.50. If you belong to Sam's Club or have a Kroger discount card, you can get it for a little less. |

Filled at Costco this morning. RUG $2.69, lowest price since July. Most stations $2.79 - $2.99. Diesel averaging about $2.89.
