Default 93 Octane @ $2.25 With Nowhere To Go

Here in Western PA 93 octane is the standard premium fuel. Returning from my dealer five days ago to switch to the summer rims sporting brand new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's, I stopped to refuel. $2.25! Five days later I've put exactly zero miles on the tires! One of these days I hope to give a tire review.....but....

I said in November when I had new Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3's put on that I'd do a review of them...never had more than an inch of snow on the ground all winter long, so that review will have to wait. They were great on the cold, dry roads...

Cheap gas! We need to come up with places to drive to and burn some of it!!

(I saw $2.60 for Shell 93 a couple days ago. Some of the rip-off stations in my area have barely reduced their prices.)

It's not 93 octane, but we saw $1.44/gallon for regular a couple of miles from my house yesterday!

Our $2.25 was at Costco. I never buy cheap station gas.

91 Octane is selling for as low as $2.19 (high as $2.43!) around Bellevue/Omaha, NE.

Think I'll take my Sweetie out for a drive through the Safari Park today!

I have done a few long drives just to get out of the house. Can’t do much of anything else.
