yep, so stop moaning.

Yea.... I totally hated filling up in Canada when I visited over the summer LOL Make sure your topped off before crossing! Their prices are no joke, I'd cringe at the thought of filling up a STi over there yet alone a truck lol.

I would love to see 93 octane. Premium here is only 91 and is $3.83. Can get 103 but it costs a fortune
 
Sounds like it, how I don't miss California for those prices and just being limited to 91. The higher octane gas stations were rare in NorCal, one was about 1hr over a bridge from where I used to be.

When I was stationed in Hawaii, I saw prices get as high as $4.65/ga. for 93.

Owch but thats a much better price than California's, we used to be around that price range for just 91! Some places went over $5, specially in SoCal I think peaked around 5.30 something.

There's been a pretty good drop in gas prices in my area today.

My girlfriend sees our local Shell station listing $2.99/3.09 for 87 octane (cash/credit).
So I swing in there after work today and see the prices on the pumps.

$2.99/3.09 - 87
$3.39/3.49 - 89
$3.59/3.69 - 93

Fucking crooks are lucky I saw that cop car across the intersection. I was soooo close to roasting the tires off of the Batmobile IN THEIR PARKING LOT.

I'm not paying 50 or 60 cents more per gallon for premium. I'm just not going to do it. I'm not a cheap ass, but it's the damn principle of the thing. Those ass clowns ONLY posting their 87 octane prices to lure us all in and figure we'll be too lazy to go somewhere else now that we're at the pump.

Screw 'em! I will be getting gas somewhere else later tonight.

Damn shell and their bullshit pricing... There's a shell 5 min from my house that has 87 for $2.99 and 93 for $3.70. Makes no sense while every other station else has 93 20 cents more than 87... :doh:

Maybe they think their V-Power 93 octane is the nectar of the gods or some bullshit. :rambo: I almost posted this shit in the "Grinds My Gears" thread.
