The future's so bright, I've gotta wear... shades.
Just drove up I-95 from South Florida to Hilton Head. Almost every gas station sign near the highway was showing $3.89 but Buc Ee's in Daytona was only $2.99 when I filled up.

Every station around me is now at $3.99. No one is brave enough to break that $4 barrier.

The cheap place on my way to the office was $3.55 this morning (5:30am) and went up to $3.99 by the drive home (3:00pm). The station near my house was $3.79 all day but I wonder what it will be tomorrow if the other place went up that much.

Place by my house only went up to $3.82 this morning. "Cheap" place still at $3.99.

Gotta ask. What percentage of your 'cheap' gas is ethanol? Out here, the cheap gas (around $4.95 - $5.35) has signs saying no more than 10% ethanol. And yes, Costco is almost the cheapest, but has the 10% ethanol label. The 'good' gas is up over $5. Took my Subaru in for service, and guys told me that engines using Costco get fouled up the most. Just asking....

Here in NH it's all 10% for 87 octane, and I can get it for 3.65. Ethanol free is just over 5 a gallon and is all I use in my non car gas machines. Ethanol is horrible if your vehicle sits.
This gel is ethanol from a tractor carb that hadn't been used in six months. The previous owner couldn't figure out why it wouldn't start...

Both the stations I mention are Chevron and "No more than10%" is pretty much the standard everywhere. There are places that you can get ethanol free, like Wawa, but that is always 75 to 80 cents more a gallon.

Yep, and it is why I only use ethanol free in my mower and power washer.

I lead, you follow.
$5.19 for 93. Neat.
Pulled & cleaned the MAF. I also run a can of seafoam through with every oil change. Averaging 36.5/gal and only having to fill up every 6 weeks with my daily commute plus a little weekend driving. So I can't complain *too much.

Only $3.65 at both places on the way in this morning. Even the Wawa right by I-95, which is usually 10-15 cents more, had it at $3.69.

Topped off at $3.51 this morning.
And I just checked GasBuddy. Now shows the same station at $4.49.
