I am so sick of the price of Gas going up because of "unrest in the Middle East!"

Also, I never should have eaten that frozen burrito last night.

At least that last gas was cheap.

Extra cheap for you if somebody else is paying for it.

On our recent trip to Wisco, the 89 octane gas was cheaper than 87.

Any idea why?

It's a complete WAG, but maybe FIFO (for lack of a better term) pricing and higher turnover on the 87 octane, meaning the 89 octane hadn't yet adjusted upward in response to the price increases in the market.

Also because most people want to save money and will buy what is cheapest (usually 87). Those worried about vehicle performance will spring for the 92. Middle child 89 gets left out (several gas stations in my area have phased it out entirely).

Pretty sure it's because you drove through Iowa where Corn is King.

The 89 has plenty of corn. the 87 not.

Anyway, I think that's it.

Maybe gas is like doughnuts and the 89 was day old gas.....

We don't even have 87 here. It's all 89, 91, and 93.

Just paid 4.19 today for 93. I don't want to complain, but since I was paying a dollar less about two weeks ago it kind of pisses me off.
