$1.909/10s here but at least it is 94 octane.
I have been paying around $1.70 or so for a long time for the 94 octane so to me it is not that much of a change.
I am sure it will go higher before they are done......

I've been paying around 1.90 for the 92 octane(most stations highest) Rebel sells Racing Fuel 100 octane (I think just during the summer)but it's $3.00 a gal. I might try it one of these days when I feel rich. Went to Utah over the weekend - 85 octane(I wouldn't run that in anything)$1.56, 92 prem $1.76 The gas jockey said he heard it was going to $2.00 over the next couple of months. Is there some kind of conspiricy goin' on?

Here's something I received the other day.
This makes more sense than the don't buy gas on a certain day routine that was going around in April or May. Gasoline Prices!
Whoever started this has a good point.
By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.49 is cheap. Me too! As it is now $1.58 for regular unleaded. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at less than $1.50, we need to try an aggressive response. With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down! is if we don't buy it. But, that's not really a practical option since we all have come to rely on our cars. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together.
Here's the idea -
For the rest of this year, don't purchase gasoline from the two biggest
companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not selling, they should be inclined to reduce their prices - and if they reduce their prices the other companies will too. But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of users. But it IS... doable!
I am sending this note to 42 people. If each of you send it to at least 10 more ...and those 10 send it to at least 10 more ... and so on by the time the message reaches the sixth iteration we will have reached
over one million consumers. Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on, or one you compose, to at least 10 more E-mail addresses! .
PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO$1.28 - $1.29 AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
