PoP-PoP 'RAUDER
I couldn't believe it !!! I just saw the prices at a local Texaco station I took a pic wiyh my iphone but don' know how to upload, so I'll just describe it:

Regular 1.45 9/10
Power Plus 2.29 9/10
Power Premium 2.49 9/10

According to my calculator that is $ 1.04 DIFFERENCE !!!!!!!!!!
At Walmart 2 miles and 5 min later:

Regular 1.41 9/10
Premium 1.72 9/10

That's $ .31 difference ????????????????????

Kroger and Tom Thumb are running $ .40 difference

Ain't free enterprise wonderful.

I wonder how many 2016 cars use 93 octane ?
 
Wow, we are paying $1.10 per liter up here in Canada where I'm at. That's over 4$ gallon.

If you think that's expensive, you should go buy some VP109, $2.50 a gallon will seem like a bargain.
 
difference between 87 octane ($1.85) 89 octane ($2.15) = 35 cents/gallon and 93 octane ($2.60) = 75 cents/gallon

On a tight budget, it has to be considred when chosing a daily driver.
 
We have had a nice pricewar around here ever since costco opened a gasbar. It's 94.4 cents per litre for 91 there now, everyone else is over 95 cents.

That works out to ABOUT $3.60 per gallon.

Of course it is on sale for our American friends for about $2.52 per gallon with your American dollars.

Xylene is the real deal. Carcinogenic stuff, be careful. Maybe I should put a 55 gallon drum of 100 octane in the garage. 4 gallons per tank and a 93 octane tune would be nice. I see a Fire Marshall Bill skit in here somewhere . . .

Yeah..... I'll stick with vp products, I don't need to lunch a motor by saving a few bucks playing chemist.
 
You folks are kind of surprising me. All the talk with the exception of a mention of mixing Racing gas has been about cheap pricing.

Cheap prices are great as long as you are getting quality fuel for that price? My area Regular Unleaded with up to 10% Ethanol is running around $1.70 a gallon for 87 Octane. 93 is still well over $2.00 a gallon but that also includes Ethanol.

Ethanol for me is a Non-Starter. I'm paying right about $2.50 a gallon for Ethanol Free High Octane and I'm OK with that....The Only way Ethanol is going in my Marauder is if it's Use it or Walk on a trip.
