Price spread between regular and premium
With no real advertising as to why, the price spread between 87 and 91 or 93 has really gained ground. 70 cents is the norm anymore. Saw 90 yesterday. And it's all E10 I'm looking at. I can't ignore it anymore. I'm tuning back to 87... 
When you get the SC Cortex tunes for Rotofab, do you get all the octane levels, or do you need to buy the regular and premium versions separate? I haven't looked at my tuner in a long time.

Same in Michigan.
When I started mods, spread between regular and premium was at most 18 cents. Now it's 60 to 70 cents.
It's bad enough the sons of bitches jack with the overall price of regular on a weekly basis, but they got under the radar with the gasoline grade spread.
F'em
I went e85
things are not what they appear to be.....

Mostly wealthy people cars use premium, I'm guessing they've gotten wise to it and jacked the price up. I only use it in my G8, so no biggie, but would suck if my DD needed it.

Holy shit, that's a huge spread! Unbelievable.
It's $2.39 for regular and $2.99 for premium here. What's crazy is if you go down the road 15 mins it's $2.19 and $2.57.

This was Shell so top tier. We have cheaper fuel but at a risk. The G8 only gets Shell.

Still, the local Shell station is $2.27/$2.94. I know how you feel. My cars only see Mobil 93. If I didn't have a Mobil nearby it would be Shell.
