Default What's really wrong is the fact that they kept the labels and pricing the same

So 91 is now 'premium' and their price is what other brands charge for 93. Their 93 Ultra is now about $.06 more than everyone else's 93 Premium.

Default New nationwide rules on fuel mean that all of these high octanes are going bye-bye.

I think in a matter of weeks none of us will be able to find high octane fuel anywhere in the USA.

It is this change in requirements that is sending th price of fuel sky-high now.

Exactly... I paid $.02 more per gallon at a different station for 1 octane higher.

Default umm no it's greed! and corrupt government. We are getting fuel fairly cheap from the rabs and others

it's Exxon mobile and the others that are still treating the oil as if it was priced at $70+ a barrel.

Why are the profits so high, because they are not passing on the new better pricing to the consumer, they continue to add margin and more margin..

Default more specific to CA, is Unocal's patent on 50 ways to make 91+, only if all others agree to a 5c/gal

fee to Unocal, bastages

Default Octane here in Malaysia is 97 and you can get 100 octane...

for the premium.
Not that it makes great deal cause of the heat and humidity. For our turbo cars, it doesn't do too well.
My Evo 7.5 engine really performs a little crappy compared to when I'm up in the hills.
