I noticed soemthing yesterday....
I was coming back from JS's and needed gas asap. So I saw a sign for Wawa...meh, Ill give it a shot. I drive over, its 1.71 for regular!! NICE! But I dont use regular..i see 2.21 for premium. That was a little high IMO. I pull up to the pump, and its 92 octane? WTF is that?
I drove down 195 to the next exit, drove a bit and found a Hess for 2.18 for 93.
odd.

And yes, diesel is sooo much more expensive. Even with the low sulfer treatments, it shouldnt be that high at all. I think that Benz CEO is right, diesel in the US is kept this high to keep diesel vehicles off the roads.
Yea I work at a wawa...and needless to say, my car is tuned on 92. Back when gas peaked where I work, there was a 36 cent difference between regular and premium. Tonight, my wawa is $1.73 for regular and $2.09 for Premium still a 36 cent difference....talk about F*&^ng the consumer. There should be a 20 cent difference between regular and premium right now and most stations are still 30-40 cents more a gallon for premium, it just doesn't make any sense.
