Just paid $3.03 a gallon still down 20 cents from the start of this.
 
In the Phoenix area, the gas stations I use (in East Mesa and North Phoenix) have jumped up about 15-20 cents. Not as much as I expected (yet) but still a significant increase.
 
Yeah, it went up 25 cents for low grade here. I don't even look at the other grades.

Always use the grade the manufacturer recommends.

Higher octane DOES NOT improve gas mileage or performance at all.

Thant's a HUGE myth.

Buying 93, 91, 89 octane or whatever when your car calls for 87 is a waste of money.

$4.50/gallon where I live.

Yeah but aren't metric system gallons a lot bigger than regular gallons..........

Not so sure it is a myth. In the '90s I had an Olds with a carbureted 307 that had to frequently pull very steep hills. When I ran 87 or 89 octane it would noticeably lose power and ping so much it sounded like it was making popcorn under the hood. With 93 octane no power loss and no pinging. At that time it was only a dime more per gallon. Mind you this engine was not out of time and got exceptional performance and fuel economy. Again it was only when pulling very steep hills that the pinging occurred, otherwise with 87 octane the performance was excellent. But where I live, with that car I had to run higher octane. (I wonder if was recommended by GM to run higher octane?) Pinging always made me nervous about mobilizing particulates from incomplete combustion causing engine wear. Thus 93 octane also helped with peace of mind. I think fuel injected engines are less prone to ping.
