Default What are you paying for 93 Octane?

The war with Iraq is starting to hit my pockets and no bombs are even flying yet. It cost me $34 bucks to fill up my Z today. My area is at $1.91 per gallon for 93 Oc. I know there's probably a lot of places higher especially on the West coast. With summer coming it's going to get a lot worse. THANK GOD FOR MY BEATER.

Because you're in Gainesville, or because gas is $1.99?

Go Vols.

Gas is only gonna get higher once the war really starts. Which Begs a question a few people think is stupid, is 91 octane the lowest a Z can safely run on. You may not think 10 cents is a big difference now, but wait a month and lets see what the prices are then.

out here in cali we only get 91 octane at best.

current price in San Diego is $2.35!!!!

Yeah, we may have the highest gas prices but we also live in the best city on earth.

It must be some sort of sun tax !

1.94 in Fairfax Virginia..

This begs the question, IS 93 OCTANE REALLY WORTH IT?!?! There is almost a 20 cent difference, which is about 3.00 save on each fill-up.. Is it worth it?!

If SD is the best city on earth, how come you can't get good gas?

$1.89-$1.92 in the flatlands of Colorado for premium. The same price gets you regular in the mountains, and premium is probable $2.25/gal or so up there.

Almost makes a guy want a Honda Insight........... NOT!!

Its been $1.79 for a few weeks in southern New Jersey. We've got refineries instead of that San Diego sun and hopefully the price stays there.

$1.86 this morning at Chevron for 93 octane. independent brands are maybe $0.10 less.

I was in South Alabama last week and Chevron was about $0.20 less than here but then it's closer to the coast and the refineries.

I think another question would be if the increase in price is going to change how you drive or reduce your travel?

I don't think the high prices will change the way I drive my Z. "Pedal to the medal"...But it will change how often I drive it. I'm going to try and stick to my weekend warrior vow. That's easier said than done when it's starting to warm up here in Maryland. All that snow gave me cabin Fever and I'm ready to roll. Once it hits 2 dollars a gallon I think my Exxon Speedpass will take a break and so will my Z. Well atleast on rainy days. It's so hard trying to stay out of that damn car.
