Regular with ethanol is down to $3.08/gal.  That's the lowest in some time.

I thought that a 10% mixture of ethanol would lower mpg. Wish I could buy gas without the Ethanol.

I thought that a 10% mixture of ethanol would lower mpg. Wish I could buy gas without the Ethanol.

I don't know what the difference is specifically, but winter blend up here results in a SIGNIFICANTLY lower gas mileage than does summer blend.

Between April-October, I've been getting nearly 21 mpg on the truck.  And since the first of the month, I've been lucky to get 19.

Most places are between $3.25-3.35 on the NH side, although I've seen as low as $3.18.

Yeah, Wally World (Murphy's) today (which features 10% ethanol) was going for 2.909 in north-central MO.

We've dropped below 2.80 at every station around here that I have seen.  Most of them are somewhere between 2.73 and 2.79.  I wonder how long we'll be like this before we get the shaft.

Down to $3.07 here. I think that is the lowest it's been since this thread started 2 1/2 years ago.  We never did see the $5/gal that the article suggested.

We hit $2.98 in some places last week.  Some have stayed at that price, some have creeped back up.  I noticed the BP up the street is back to $3.08.

Was 2.97 Friday morning then jumped to $3.10 wee early morning hours Monday. I hate gas stations. They make most car dealerships look honest.

After staying at $3.05 for several weeks, the price has dropped to $2.98, a new low.

It depends upon what grade of gasoline one buys, though.

<<<buys only pure gasoline, no ethanol.

<<<paid $3.22 a gallon this morning; the blended stuff's $2.93.
