I did a search on gas prices in Columbia, MD on MarylandGasPrices.com. Here's what I found:

http://www.marylandgasprices.com/index.asp...ia&tme_limit=60

The cheapest they could find is $2.37. If someone has found it as cheap as $1.49, they need to report it to this website.

$2.39 at Safeway for 87 octane with a .06 per gallon discount because we buy our groceries there. This is for northern California.

The gas prices should be the icing on the cake for all those waiting for the GT500.

$1.06/litre I don't know how to convert that.

man we're getting screwed.
this was the first time 87 octane went above a dollar a litre here. (and it probably won't come down)

it's getting near the price of water now

The worst part is where I live we have a plant nearby that makes gas for Sunoco. Oddly enough they ship it out to Toronto then back to us so we pay more for gas that a city over 100 miles away. Good ol' politics at it again.

I just filled up yesterday for $29.25 (13.546 gallons; the tank is supposed to hold 16 gallons total). It was $2.15 per gallon, 87 octane. The manual says to use 87 octane. Is anyone putting more expensive juice in their car? If so, why?

Hey John, do you live near Windsor? Been there a couple of times while in Detroit for the Auto Show.

What are you complaining about? Here (Sweden) we pay about $6/gallon! 75% taxes!

Keep in mind its an product thats not renewable energy, it has too cost.

Be happy for the time thats left, use it wisly.

Sorry about the spelling.

i put 93 in. 5.0 mustangs wrote in an article that the car's computer is optimized for premium, and relies on the knock sensor to run 87. I noticed it runs smoother and doesn't ping on 93 octane. 2.39 here in Nashville
