Paid $4.89 for 93 Sunoco my favorite gas here in Metro Atlanta today. During Covid at its worst that same gas was down to $2.09 per gal.

 

Guilty as charged... 91*.

 

Not COSTCO gas specifically, but up here in NJ premium 93 (Sunoco or SHELL) was around $5.25 to $5.40 per gallon. Thinking of getting a horse (lol), how much is hay these days?

 

MENU>APPS>XM FUEL PRICES if you have XM radio. It list all the stations and prices geographically around you. Then just click the gas station and it will navigate you to it.

 

That's cheap! Chicago area is over $6 a gallon now for premium. The cheapest I have seen at Costco in the burbs where I live is $5.66 for premium as of this morning. I work from home is my saving grace.

 

Guess we're not trading in anytime soon then. I'm working form home too, just go to the office once a week and that's 100 miles round trip which isn't too bad.

 

I go in once a month if that. 18 miles round trip and I'll still floor it just to clean out the engine. LOL

 

@ItzFilyO - Your office is 50 miles (100 miles round trip) from your home? That's definitely living an LA life!

 

Well I don't live in LA anymore but office is still there.

 

The federal government plans to allow more ethanol in unleaded gas starting June 1 as a way to lower the skyrocketing cost of filling up cars and trucks. While that may not harm your vehicle, Ethanol is a type of alcohol that's also a fuel additive. It's already in most unleaded gas we buy. But the amount allowable will soon be increased to 15% to help reduce the cost we pay at the pump. Increasing Ethanol to 15% may not suit some vehicle's engines.

 

I saw that at the pumps but I don't remember the %. Will it hurt our engines though? So we don't need to add any fuel additives anymore then.

 

It's up to 10% here in TX now. Increasing to 15% will drop MPG more. There are a bunch of QT gas stations here and they all sell non ethanol 87 octane gas, it's priced 20 or so cents more than 93 octane. I haven't tried it yet.

 

We never did 'need' to add any fuel additives unless you were using fuel pumped from tanks in Puerto Rico or Hawaii.

 

True. I haven't used any additives on mine now almost 4 years old and 25K miles and still runs like the day I got it. Never used cheap gas either.

 

Its good they are trying to do something to get prices down - anyone rocking a GS450h right now has got the best of both worlds - all the performance, reliability and comforts of the GS with great gas mileage! Sometimes with my AWD, i'm lucky to get 15-16mpg in the city.
