Since changing jobs the wife and I both get to/from work all week on less than a tank...

I can handle the extra $5 or so.

The bump is intentional. Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy.

Screw that! My friends with WRX's/EVO10's, and G35's all either complain about how much 93 rips holes in their wallets and/or owned/leased their cars for no more than a few months.



Meanwhile, I've owned my car (fully paid) for 12 years.



Why don't you sell it while you can still get something out of it, and buy a Genesis that was designed to run on 87+. I would do that tomorrow, impulsively.

Not unless Obama owns a controlling stake in EVERY oil company.

93 is 25 cents more expensive than the $4 regular.



When regular was less than one dollar 93 was 20 cents more expensive.



I don't even hardly notice the difference anymore. It was a 20%+ difference, now it is around a 6% difference.

It's typically .13 per increment here, has been for a few years that I've noticed. $x.xx for 87, x+.13 for 89, x+.13+.13 for 93
