I was at half a tank on my mini-road trip this weekend and stopped to top off because the next stretch of highway didnt have many gas stations.. 30 bucks and it still hadnt stopped. TO TOP OFF.

Can't afford this ish. Start drilling alaska, they wont miss it.

Gas was .87c when I started driving.

3.30 x 12 gal = 39.60
3.90 x 12 gal = 46.80

Difference: 7.20. Not a big change.

E98 prices aren't too bad. :)

Yep. SoCal prices are high. I am curious if they are seeing what the SF Bay Area folks are enduring. It is as high as $4.30 a gallon, but $4.17 a gallon is considered decent for name brand gasoline. Kind-a crazy prices .. for sure.

I think you can find 91 octane for less than $4.10 if you go to Arco, so some other cut-rate gas station.

I love ThunderHill. Awesome track! And, yeah, they charge a few extra coins for that gasoline they have in the pits. But they do have some really nice high octane stuff too (even leaded gas ... for those who run a test pipe with the appropriate tune). Hope it was fun! Once I get on the track it usually takes a month to get the smile off my face.

:lol:

Paying around $3.80 for 93 octane lately, I feel bad for you guys who pay more for only 91, not that it's a huge difference though.
