1 part 87 + 2 parts 93 = 91
I don't know what the deal is, but the price of regular has been falling a lot faster than premium, resulting in a 40-60 cent differential between 87 and 93 octane. So, I save about $2 a tank by swiping my credit card twice. Does anyone else do this?

octanes do not mix on a a proportional scale.
50% 87 and 50% 93 is not 90. its more like 92. afaik. and no i dont do that. |
the octane listed is at least the rating given, it also might be higher.
|
I use shell v-power.
One time a hurricane stopped the supply of fuel for over a week and I had to use 89. I heard some predetonation going on around the 6,000 RPM mark. Didn't get above 3,000 RPM after that until 93 was sold again. |
I have a 14 cent differential here. $1.91 regular and $2.05 premium
|
you mean 2.91 regular and 3.05 premium?
no way are you paying $2/gallon for premium. thats just crazy. |

its cheap in texas, the gas station near me has regular for 1.90 and premium is like 2.13 or something.
|
im paying 2.40 for premium in the expensive island/tourist areas on the FL coast. I know inland a bit it can get down to 2.20ish for premi, under 2 for regular. FL ftw, cheap gas and 80 degrees in nov.
and im not going to go through that to save 2$. i could drive less agressively and save more than that if i wanted. |

We have a .21 cent difference here in Ohio. Regular today was 1.97 :lol: . I wonder what will happen after the election settles down or if it has any effect.
Take care, Brian |

Take care, Brian We're in recession and there is nothing can stop this. |
I'm serious about my prices lol. It dropped big time and fast. The most I ever paid was 4.05 for premium. Then one day it cost $22 for 3/4 of a tank instead of $45
|
wow i guess california is just expensive on gas
|
^werd. I payed $5.05 last summer and am paying $3.09 right now... I'm definitely not complaining though :)

$2 in 30 seconds? That's $120 an hour - tax free. Yep, I'm that cheap.
but aside from that, people wanna complain about gas, i bet any time you've gone out for lunch you could save more than 2$ by drinking water instead of soda, by ordering a different meal, or by being a bad tipper, but do you? |
