crude oil is dropping it's @ ~71.50 now. It sucks for me soon in 2 months Winter Diesel will start showing up (diesel cut with Kero) and demand for Heating oil will make Prices higher for me.

I just had my two best tanks in a long time . 42.7 and 43.5 mpg

3.48???? that sucks. we're down into the 3.20-3.30 range for 93. Hopefully these prices will continue to drop. I'm expecting it to drop to the mid $2 range before rocketing back up to $4+, ******s

Yeah i hear ya. Sometimes you can see a pattern of raising/lowering though if you pay attention and you can fill up on the low days. Might save you a couple bucks. It all adds up I guess *shrugs* If it gets up to 4$ I am going to cry like a little baby. Telecommuting will be something I will push for very hard when that happens.

I fully intend to crash my car, get that taken care of, get disability, and hang out till the gas prices go down.

yeah. there's a lukoil that just popped up down the street from me that sells gas for CHEAP. But, I'd rather go to the Mobil a mile away from my house. Maybe it's just brand loyalty.

they stopped sellin that, it was probaly 93 and u didnt even know it

also why would mobil/exxon be ur choice of gas?
every gas station around here uses the same gas, i see the same truck fillin up every station around here, the only gas station that i know of that uses their own fuel is sunoco, so when ur buyin exxons gas its no different from citgo.

didnt mobil make alot of money from rippin ppl off with jacked up prices?

my favorite gas station is by the neshaminy mall, sunoco, brand new pump, 2.83 a gallon i think right now, they sell diesel too, they have a car wash, lowest prices in town and its white owned.

They had 87, 89, 93, and 94 -- all with different prices. I have no way to test the octane is actually 94, and you have no way to test that it's not 94 :mrgreen:

You call $2.50 gas a deal? So what if they use lube, it's still considered "rape".

Kinda silly to suggest to PA guys to go to NJ to save 5-10 cents a gallon, then pay a $3.00 "Escape NJ" fee (toll) to come back. Seems to me, just doing simple math, you'd only save a maximum of $1.50 if your tank was bone dry empty, pay a $3 toll, plus the gas and time going over...looks like you're losing a couple of bucks, to me, plus you have to deal with some push start or pull start putting gas into your sweet ride.

You all suck. Apparently we havent got the memo yet to reduce our prices. We are still sitting at 3.05 for 87 octane.

I'm not complaining about $3.05/gallon...I just called up to get a price on race fuel for the Supra...looks like I'm going to have to take out a mortgage to run it at the track. For a 55 gallon drum...$1199.34. That's $20.80/gallon. Atco is roughly 60 miles round trip from my house, Englishtown is 103 miles round trip. At 10 mpg...that'd cost me about $125 to get to Atco and home...no runs included...and about $215 for E-Town. I may need to switch to Torco instead of VP Import.

Yeah, I'm looking into race fuel for the All-Subaru Shootout in Numidia next month, but I haven't run race gas since I was in high school (last time was 1982)...

Are there local dealers for Torco? I need 100-110 octane.

they made the 93 buttons 91 and 94 buttons 93
so most likely u got 93, and if u did get 94 its probaly old and stale

Not many places sell it around here. There's a place over by E-town that has it. The distributor for the PA Area is actually down in New Bern, NC...which doesn't make much sense to me. I'm almost positive that MIR sells Torco though. It may be easier, albeit a little more pricey in the longrun, to buy it at the track each time.

This may become a REALLY popular thread with the link I'm about to post...it gives you the cheapest prices on gas in the Philadelphia area. So far...the WAWA on Oxford Avenue (which happens to be VERY close to my house) is the cheapest at 2.73 for regular.
