Default How much is gas near you, and what grade are you using in your S197?

Well since we're experiencing the worst economic environment since the Great Depression, gas has *slowly* come down. What are you paying, what are you filling up with, and have you switched fuel grades because of prices?

In DE,
Regular (87): $1.79/gal
Premium (93): $2.15/gal

I switched from regular to premium in my stock Stang in September. The plummeting gas prices have been nice

91 octane Conoco

$2.09 / gallon

There is one station that sells 93 and it's a Cenex. Conoco gasoline may be better quality and it is closer to my house so I stick with it.

$1.85 for regular unleaded, $1.95 for Premium. (Where I live Premium is always only $0.10 more... everywhere. It's weird to see that for some of you its more than $.10 lol)

I use just normal Regular gas though. Today I'm going to get it on full! I've got about a half a tank right now... Our local Hy-Vee Grocery store sometimes gives up to $0.15 off per gallon with a store receipt (so I go buy a candy bar and keep the receipt lol). So I might be filling up at $1.70 today.

I've put SO MUCH Mileage on the car since these gas prices have been down... I can actually afford to drive it. I've been driving probably an average of 40-50 miles a day, maybe more. I used to only put on around ten or so.

87 $1.86 91 $2.04 93 @2.15 in nashville, tn area
not bad since this summer was almost $5/gallon for 87 and that is all they had.
im using 89 octane right now. been running nothing but 87 for the first 4k miles. just wanted to see if there was a difference in octanes with the stock tune. on the tuned 07 i had i only ran 93. not going to with the stock tune though.
