Cincinnati RUG seems to be in the 3.40-3.50 range, with a full $1 spread for PUG. I am not used to that.
Yeah, the $1 spread is typical, here. ☹️

Prices have gone up $0.30 in the last couple weeks.
Spread in WA is seldom more than 30 cents or so. RUG here is cheaper than WA - less taxes, but the gap closes fast for PUG.

I am sure some kind of supply and demand is at play, legitimate market forces, capitalism and bootstraps, etc.

It’s weird. In Fort Wayne, spread is $0.60.. 😕

I also notice a $1+ spread from RUG to diesel, but I guess that's not new. Little Caddy "recommends" PUG, so mid grade will do.

PUG at the neighborhood Chevron is $5.30, IIRC. 10 cent cash discount. Costco is about 50 cents less. WA state is highest in the nation now thanks to a poorly implemented carbon tax, which has added much more than initially claimed, and is more regressive taxation.

Costco PUG $4.99 in Tumwater WA.

Shell PUG $4.39 at my local station in Northern KY

I paid $4.04/gal for Kroger mid-grade last week.

Put 1/2 a tank of PUG to top it off in the Mustang yesterday, 6 1/2 gallons @$4.499 a gallon.
This was in the greater Cleveland OH area.

explorerx4 · October 2023

Saw a couple stations this morning with RUG under $3 a gallon,
You have to be in their program to get that price, tie rewards card to your checking acct.

Back from a trip to CT for my grand niece's 1st birthday.
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.

kyfdx · November 2023

That's really weird.

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.

explorerx4 · November 2023

The 88 octane is 15% ethanol. Still don't want it.
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.

Some states now allow up to 15% ethanol in their normal grades.

Article in the local paper last week about a "gas war" here in Denver, with a few stations advertising RUG for under $2/gal.

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.

kyfdx · December 2023

$2.82 for RUG at Kroger in Newport, KY, yesterday

kyfdx · December 2023

$2.69 RUG, today

Michaell · December 2023

$2.72/gal for midgrade at Kroger in Denver suburbs last week

explorerx4 · January 5

Filled up with BP PUG for $3.499. RUG was $2.559. Lowest I saw was $2.499 for RUG.

Well, I'm not trusting Gasbuddy as a source of prices anymore.
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.
