My wife just called. She's on the road for work today, and said she saw a station that's higher than the pic I posted.
She'll try to get a pic on her way back.

Don't you love that crap? I was near the port of Long Beach today and the gas station on the opposite corner form the refinery was $3.89 for 91
haha no our Insurence is more money to (I am paying 2100 a year with a perfect driving record, and no collision) and our taxes are higher... I live in canada... but we have medi-care so that evens things out because we dont have to pay for medical insurence...

For what it's worth I usually run 89 as the FRWilk chip requested that it be run on 89 at least.. and i just wanted to fill it with the best since I just drained the tank completely.

And to top it off, car died again today so that isn't the problem.

I've found that resorting to homicide is a cheap way to get a full tank. The credit card paying for the gas is from the other guy's wallet.
