Re: Price of gas update...

I haven't seen gas (in NC) under $3.15 in months, probably not this year. Mostly it has bounced up and down between $3.25 and $3.49.

Re: Price of gas update...

Ah, so you have the "big city" pricing model, where there is a very large gap between premium gas and the lesser brands. I think it was like that in New York when I lived there. :unsure:

Re: Price of gas update...

And the flip side to that question is, "Why is Murphy undercutting the others by so much?" Surely a 10¢-15¢ discount would be enough to attract the value conscious driver? ..... That said, part of...

Re: Price of gas update...

Well it's all a bit theoretical as, per my experience cited above, I have a very long term commitment to buying BP and Exxon gas, which long predated my one way journey across the pond. That...

Re: Price of gas update...

I don't subscribe to the "top tier" list at all, because it seems to include almost any brand that applies to join. In my bailwick I'd be hard pushed to find a gas station that isn't selling top...

Re: Price of gas update...

The difference in the price of gas between BP/Exxon and the cheapest competition in NC, which is usually Murphy or Citgo, is rarely more than a couple of cents/gal, 5c tops, and I only ever buy BP or...

Re: Price of gas update...

Paid $2.989 ($3.139 less 15c gas credit card discount) for BP gas last Sunday. High octane for the Beemer was 60c more. That's the cheapest since February. :)

Re: Price of gas update...

93 octane is mostly in the $4.00-$4.20 range locally ATM, though I haven't put any gas in my BMW for several weeks - I was a paying around $4.60 - $4.80 about a month ago. We'll be taking the BMW on...

Re: Price of gas update...

Paid 3.59 (less 15c BP VISA card discount) yesterday in NC, which is about right - there is usually a 20c differential between local prices and competitive (lowish) prices in SC.

Re: Price of gas update...

I suspect that most people report the cents and just drop the 10ths, rather than round up. :unsure:

The formating for the small font also disappears if I need to go back to edit a post. :(

Re: Price of gas update...

If you look at the octane rating on the pumps - I just Googled a picture of BJ's at Northborough, MA the pump shows that they're selling 87 octane (basic unleaded) and 93 octane, which is the highest...

Re: Price of gas update...

That's because avgas has lead it it! :nod:

Re: Price of gas update...

Ok, but it's more complex than that because the octane ratings aren't fixed at 87/89/93 - they vary from state to state they are in fact 85-87 / 87-89 / 90-93, with the premium being by far the most...

Round here gas stations sell Regular, Midgrade, and Premium. BJ's sells Regular and Premium (no Midgrade). Are you saying that there's something higher than "Premium"? :unsure:
