What is the big deal between premium and regular???

At a difference of $.20/gallon at 10 gallons a week, 52 weeks a year...

That's 104 DOLLARS a year.

Big freakin' deal!

OK, I'll give you 17 gallons a week... Still isn't a big deal, IMHO.

F mid grade! My baby only gets premium 93, I don't care if it's $2.50 a gallon. I'll have to grin and bear it. I filled up today in DC for $1.89/ gal at almost $26.00!!!

It's always more expensive here in the Peoples Republic of California. Governor Nitwit needs the gas taxes to attempt balancing the bloated budget.

Scrib. I have always pointed that out to people. Except I use about 25 gallons a week.

3.6 liters to a gallon. so .80 a litre is 2.88
.91= ~3.25
Still that sucks ass. Big time.
