With the gas stations around here, premium is usually 91 octane (mostly the independents). Larger brands have 93. But Sunoco stations here have 4 grades. Regular = 87. Mid-grade = 89. "Premium" = 91. "Ultra" = 94. The Sunoco stations in Canada were recently re-braded Petro-Canada. But still offer the same four grades of gas.

Our Sunoco's used to have 87,89,93 and 94
But all the 93, 94 buttons got turned into one GIANT 93 button and they no longer carry the 94

Even though ours are still labelled 94, I'm sure it's probably the exact same gas your getting at 93. I suspect there's some creative math going on in their canadian marketting. Probably just so they can say they have 94, and everyone else only has 93.
It's a conspiracy I tells ya! :p

$3.25 per gallon here. Will definitely drive my Monte, as it gets mileage in the 20's. I do miss my '03 Cavalier LS Sport 5 speed though, it was quick, fun to drive and would break 30 mpg easily. Stupid me traded it on an SUV.
I fully expect $4+ per gallon.

The price is hovering ~$3.26 per gallon in Elgin. But, if I drive 20-30 minutes west to Burlington IL, the price drops to ~$3.19. So, since I only have to fill up once a week, I go get gas on Sunday afternoon ... and make a leisurely drive out of it

Today 87 octane was $3.15, 89 was $3.25 and 93 was $3.35. Last night each of those were 10 cents cheaper. I wish I hadn't put off getting gas. I could've saved around a $1. That adds up after a while when you drive alot.
