This was in the greater Cleveland OH area.
You have to be in their program to get that price, tie rewards card to your checking acct.
We got gas at a couple of Sheetz stations. At both of them, gas for all 3 grades was the same price.
Took my SIL's 2017 Explorer. It got the job done but feels underpowered compared to the newer turbo models and uses a lot more gas.
Second time we filled up at Sheetz, I put in some mid grade. It seemed to run better, especially the 5-6 upshift at the top of the hills. On RUG it could feel somewhat abrupt, but much softer with some mid grade fuel.
I couldn't find out anything about why the prices were the same for all grades.
They do have a high ethanol content 88 octane but I didn't want any of that, and didn't see it at the pumps.
Don't you have to have a flex fuel vehicle to use E85? (maybe, the Explorer qualifies?)
From what I've heard, MPG really drops off with E85.

I don't think the Explorer has a Flex Fuel badge on it.
One of my kids filled up with E85 by mistake once.
Check engine light came on after 40 or 50 miles.
Dealer said just to top off every 100 miles or so and the light went out after a few top off's.

I need to fill up today or tomorrow - I think RUG where I am is around $3/gal, and a bit more for midgrade, which I use in the Outback.

Usually I use BP PUG, 93 octane, but I saw their gas was no longer rated as a top tier brand.
After filling up a couple of times wth a local brand GetGo, which is supposed to be top tier but only 92 octane, I didn't like it.
The engine ran louder and not as smooth.
Yesterday, I used Gasbuddy to check the local prices and the BP station price was posted a few hours earlier as being $4.259 a gallon.
When I got there, it was $4.599 but I filled up anyway.
Checked again today and Gasbuddy still lists it as $4.259, updated today.
Maybe there is some kind of discount program, but 34 cents is a lot.
Engine running smoother and quieter, so there is that.

But, had a meeting just a half-mile away on Wednesday, and drove the Cayman.
I wasn't even sure their PUG was 93 octane, but it is.
RUG: $2.64/gal
PUG: $3.33/gal
I was shocked at how cheap PUG was, so drove by Shell on the way home.
RUG: $2.89
PUG: $3.99 (!!)

Also filled up the Sportage hybrid. It still has less than 1000 miles on it, so I'm sure the engine isn't fully broken in yet. First tank was around 32 MPG, second tank over 33 MPG. I suspect that the daughter has an above average amount of lead in her right foot.

So far, best mileage I ever gotten in the Explorer. Rated at 24 MPG highway.
Mostly downhill but 3 people and lots of cargo.
