Yes and some of them have cash price vs credit card price difference, which is more.

Filled up with Shell 93 at $2.85 a gallon.
I never thought I'd see any grade gas under $3 again.

Now let's see if we can see gas under $2!

I already start seeing Hummers hitting the streets again.

I can hardly believe how low our price is out west. Paid 88 (78 cents for reg.) cents a litre or $3.38 a gallon, for Top Tier Premium today!
It's been well over a decade since we've seen prices this low! Very strange as our dollar has tanked with the price of oil dropping! Premium is Costing $2.90 U.S per gallon!!

Nice to see the Canadian consumer finally getting a break!
But then again my Stock Market account is taking a beating with many Oil Companies shares down 50-70% in the last 3 months.

I have actually been filling up shell by my house and the millage on one tank is about 200-250 miles mind you i live and work in nyc traffic here sucks and im in eco mode for most of the day. But lately i have been filling up gulf since it is cheaper than shell for super+ and it has been giving me better range on a tank hit 300 miles the other day when i had pulled into the pump. It all depends on the way you drive i have been lucky with gulf lately but with my 2nd gen gs300 i always put mobil and it performed great.

Ive always used top tier gas. Should I be adding any additive once in awhile to the tank?

No! I would not... Top Tier gasoline found in the U.S. and Canada has detergent and protective additives that improve injector performance and prevent combustion carbon buildup, etc. that gasoline in many other countries do not have.

So we don't need any fuel injector cleaners?

No, I wouldn't ever use anything like that. If Lexus or any other auto manufacturer thought they were valuable, they'd include them as part of regular scheduled maintenance. That goes for any sort of "engine flush" or anything like that.

Hey our transmission fluid is lifetime right? The WS type? So I don't have to worry about changing them?
