$2.69 for 87 octane (regular) at a 76 station. Even the expensive places are below the 2.80's for the most part.

Wow, the gas is a droppin!! $2.67 tonite. I never thought it would come down so fast. I guess with everyone back to school and all, that the demand has gone down. If it gets back to $2.00 again, that would be great. Mike

$2.85 tonite, and that was a cheap place. Almost $2.90 in spots. My buddy at the gas station says there is no end in sight right now, so expect it to get higher yet. I'll keep up on it here in Cheeseland, and post it when I gas up. Mike

Here's a neat map to see how screwed we all are. Note, I am in Denver and seem to be less screwed than most! ;)

Nice map, we can see who really catches it. I just gased up tonite. $2.97 yet, although with the crude prices goin up, should be over $3.00 tomorrow when that station I use gets his load. When I mentioned the record high crude price, the guy there seemed to think that we will be up around $3.25 in the next week or two. Mike

It's over $3.00 here still. A few places might be just under. The 93 octane, which Suby says the Turbos must use, is $3.26 or more. I am not sure what damage I'm doing when I put 87 in my turbo....

Prolly just retards the timing so you don't get alot of detonation from the lower octane. Mike

Still $2.89 tonite. And my gas station friend says when he gets his load tomorrow, the price will be even lower. I have to see it to believe it. If it IS goin down, they are just gettin ready to rape us around Memorial Day. Mike

Roo seems to get upset if I buy regular, so I'm stuck buying middle-grade for $3.11 right now. It's been pretty consistent over the last few weeks.
