How is 89 octane $1.70 more a gallon than 87?

I had my GTR out and was just going to fill it up from a little over a quarter tank and saw the price and was like, nope I will just go down the street and pay a normal price.

I doubt @SW17LS lets it get below a half a tank so I'm guessing a buck fifty. Lol

.20c a gallon. So it’s like $3

It’s usually 13 or 14 gallons a week. 22 gallon tank

It’s worth choosing to get gas on Tuesday if possible. Not much more effort!

anything to not over pay to the gas companies. Some stations are permanently discounted here so it doesn’t matter what day you go

Now that I’m looking at it even the 89 octane is insanely priced.

Better off sitting in the Costco line for their cheap gas prices.

They still exist. I’ve never stepped foot in Costco before but I see their gas prices are competitive and I believe it’s a top tier station according to the top tier site.

I use gas buddy app and see who has best prices where I’m heading.

Those disappeared in California in the 1980's. When I was in NJ, I was forced into getting full service. Just to be clear, pumping gas for me
