Down a couple cents to $3.72 today.

The gas stations are the busiest I've seen in a few years. Almost impossible to drive up to an open pump. Pick a line to wait in and hope the driver doesn't go in to buy lotto tickets.

I got a great deal on gasoline at a reservation station in a fairly desserted area of Riverside County, CA on Firday. #5.499/gal. I was so happy.

Why buy premium? Any car I own with knock sensors is getting a steady diet of regular
I've been doing this for years with no issues
The other day I was next to a woman filling her Toyota SUV with premium I told her she was wasting $20 she said it ran better Ok sure

Both of my Hondas have bright yellow stickers inside the fuel door. 'Unleaded Premium Only'

That's plenty of reason for me.

A guy is filling a beautiful MB with regular at the same Speedway I have been quoting prices from. I ask does that take regular? He says no but his friend owns a Mercedes dealership and he said you don't need to use premium.

Said he had been doing it for years.

$3.29

I don't know.

I gotta think some performance is left on the table even though the car will run.

^^^ Looking at Gas Buddy...I see a bunch of OK stations under $3.
Which you will be tomorrow, I guess.
