Right now, in San Francisco, its 3.50s for 91 premium and that is knowing where to go.

Over the summer, it was $3.80s and i say a peak at $4.10 before. This is all Chevron 91

Then you suffer from poor engine drivability and will just have to turn around and spend money anyway to clean things out with a fuel-system additive like BG-44K.

If you really want to take care of your engine and fuel system, use either Shell or Chevron........they are the benchmarks for quality in gas and detergent additives.
Hey Marshall, believe it or not one of the gas stations was a Chevron. For regular, the price was a couple cents above $3.

3.29 for premium this morning. My understanding is that Cali finds itself in the corporate horrible situation of having too much gas and we are actually exporting some. Don't know about the rest of the country but for the last couple of years we have seen 50% swings from low to high in gas price here. And right now is our low.

As Bernanke cut interest rates and the stock market came back, so did oil. It didn't get down much into the 80s and it didn't stay there for long. Last I saw it was around 92/bbl. No recession means no slackening in demand and prices balloon as usual.
