We just got back from Branson, Mo & gas for 89 was 2.39 down there. 89 is like 2.69 up in Wentzville right now & 93 is round 2.93. I've been running 89 in my car lately bcuz I need to save money & besides I haven't been driving it much lately (besides my huge road trip for my dad last week) & I haven't been driving it hard when I do drive it. Just nice & easy driving for me lately =)

2.44 for regular just outside of work in Columbia and 2.59 at the Prosperity exit???

A couple of sites to find cheaper gas:

Top Tier Detergent Gasoline
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is the premier standard for gasoline performance. Six of the world's top automakers, BMW, General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and Audi recognize that the current EPA minimum detergent requirements do not go far enough to ensure optimal engine performance.
Since the minimum additive performance standards were first established by EPA in 1995, most gasoline marketers have actually reduced the concentration level of detergent additive in their gasoline by up to 50%. As a result, the ability of a vehicle to maintain stringent Tier 2 emission standards have been hampered, leading to engine deposits which can have a big impact on in-use emissions and driver satisfaction.
These automakers have raised the bar. TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline help drivers avoid lower quality gasoline which can leave deposits on critical engine parts, which reduces engine performance. That�s something both drivers and automakers want to avoid.

I like 76. I liked the big orange spinning 76 globe. The gas has never been a dissapointment, unlike Arco or Valero -two bargain brands that don't have enough octane in the regular to avoid pinging.

The last spinning 76 ball in Monterey area -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQm2RVUH5E0

And 76 gave me a credit card

Yesterday's price - Seaside CA, home of MCF member Visceron

The Chevron Station by my house is $3.15 for 87, $3.25 for 89, and $3.33 for 91...in South San Jose, CA.

And my car always gets Chevron gas (which is a Top Tier), because my company gas card is a Chevron/Texaco card.
