I feel so bad for your engine

My 1995 Honda Civic has 230,000 miles on it and I only buy Arco gas except for the occasional 76 because it's on the way home from work.

Been buying Arco gas for the past 45 years. Never had any major engine problems in any of my cars.

Cleaner gas still makes a difference.  Cleaner fuel injectors, cleaner spark plugs, etc.  Just because you haven't had any major issues doesn't mean it couldn't be performing better.

Arco is still top-tier gas. It's cheaper because they don't accept credit cards.

Yo also buy Valero because it's full service at self service prices. I get the same level of productivity from my car with both brands. No complaints either way.

Costco is my regular fill up place.

Good prices

Gas prices should go down soon because oil prices have been declining significantly.

Oil is down to 63 dollars and change today.

Good thing the dumbshits in California have no clue and will vote no on prop 6.  Thus triggering a 17 cent tax on gas come July that most probably have no clue about since they follow the dumpshit tax hungry sheep in this state.

Gas now below $3 in Long Beach!

$2.99 at ARCO on Atherton and Bellflower.

Oil dropped to $49 and change today. More good news.

Guess it depends on where you live and what you do for a living.

Makes you wonder if keeping the Saudi's close, with huge dirt on them, is better than going all out war/sanction city on them.  Or is it just a coincidence, that once we started pointing fingers at the main Saudi, suddenly gas prices have dropped like a rock.

[nando714]

$2.89 cypress Costco 

[NJHalo]

Down to $2.11 here in Northern NJ

Yep, gotta wonder...

Oil dropping again today, down to $48/barrel. It was $77 not too many weeks ago.

Gas was $2.88 at Smith's on the way home a couple of days ago. With my points from shopping there, the price went down to $2.68

[fan_since79]

$3.05 this afternoon at ARCO on Goldenwest in Huntington Beach.

Chevron stations almost everywhere are stuck on $3.59. Have no idea why this is so.

Why is gas so high there in Nevada?  It was $2.89 at the Costco in Azusa yesterday.  Last time my buddy was out to Vegas in November, there was like a 50 cent difference.

Part of ours is highway taxes.

Because chevron sucks. There's a station in the northern part of Glendale that is always at least 60 cents a gallon higher than anyone else in town.

Paid $4.15 today.

college friend of mine was in town last night for a visit. he lives in norway. he thought our gas prices were terrific! said it's over $9 US for a gallon back home.

4.29 is the minimum most places now. Filled up at 4.09 in Los Alamitos today at the ARCO.

They're blaming "unexpected maintenance problems" at four refineries for this. Gov Newsom is calling for an investigation into price gouging. His intentions are good but these 'investigations' never go anywhere. Meanwhile, the companies enjoy record profits.

Because they are umpteen threeve years old.   Old buildings?    Nothing can go wrong there.

and they just continue to keep getting away with what they're doing.

i'm not a fan of newsom at all, but i'll be duly impressed if he can do something about the price gouging at the pump since the voters blew it on prop 6 last year. idiots.

[fan_since79]

I like how the "unexpected maintenance problems" developed simultaneously at four different refineries. What are the chances of that?

Meanwhile, oil prices have been plunging, down to $51 a barrel, but gasoline in California continues to skyrocket. I saw $4.59 at a Chevron yesterday. They're saying we could hit $4.80 or more within days. Something's wrong here.
