Just saw a drop in pricing over the last couple days here in SoCal. Paid $3.71 yesterday for the lowest grade cheapest gas I could find. Today I drove by the same shop and it was $3.67 for the same stuff. Go figure
Ouch at your fuel prices!
I pay around $1.50 a litre, so... almost $6 per gallon.
I use Unleaded 95 for the most part and use a full tank of Unleaded 98 occasionally, but that is almost $2 per litre.
I get just over 600km's with a full tank, which is around 373 miles.
What i would like to find/get is some type of fuel quality tester so i can suss out a station which consistently has good fuel as there is an issue over here of people adding more ethanol into the fuel to water it down - you cant really tel who's doing it :|
I was very unimpressed when i picked up my Barina RS from the dealership and they told me they filled the tank with Unleaded 91

Why ask for gas prices on a car forum? You know you can open up gasbuddy.com, type in the city/state/zip and get exactly the information you are looking for.

Down to $2.60 for regular in parts of DFW. It's about $2.70-something around me.
I get premium only, so I paid like $3.20 or $3.30 the other day.
Honestly, I don't keep track of gas prices at all. I know I have to drive (and want to drive, when it comes to weekend trips), so I'm going to drive anyway, regardless of cost of gas (within reason). Even if the cost of gas jumps by $1 overnight, that means I'm spending $40 more per month on gas. It's not that big of a deal.

I just paid $3.299 for Shell 87 Octane. I like the app for my phone called Gasbuddy. Or just go to gasbuddy.com. It shows me local prices, but I usually stick with Shell.
I talked to my dealer, and I mentioned I tried 93 octane a few times, but it didn't seem to make a difference with the MPG's. He explained it's designed for the 87 Octane, but it will adjust to what's in it. He also said, if I change what I put in it, it gets confused with what it's already learned. I didn't find out if it auto-resets to adjust for changes or not, or if it's something they need to reset in service.
Seeing as I've seen no significant difference with the few times I've tried higher octane, I've decided to stick with 87, and pretty much with Shell, or Mobil, no matter the price.
