How much is gasoline in your area?

$2.69-$2.79 (Milwaukee Area)
 
The same unleaded number?

It is crazy how people do not care about price differences. I go the brand that excepts amex, clean washrooms and 95% lowest price around but even the same company a town over on the only highway can have a big difference in prices. Max prices my area are regulated by the government.
Yes, the price was for the same unleaded grade.
Our DD is a bit of cheapskate (comes by it honestly) and will drive blocks (not miles) out of her way to buy cheaper gas. The prices at our Orillia Costco are only about 3 cents per liter cheaper than the discount stations in the rest of Orillia. Just 30 minutes down the highway in Barrie ON the prices are always 5-10 cents a liter more.

Why do we even still use the term "unleaded"? Now it really is just gas. Leaded gas hasn't really been sold for vehicles in the US in the last 30 years.

It was $2.89 in Northern CO when we left there last week, and I was surprised to see it was $3.25 in SW FL when we got here.

I noticed that no one here has reported $1.99 gas. How can that be??? 🤣 🤣 🤣

As far as motor vehicles. But, according to Wiki, it is still used in aviation fuel:

Aviation gasoline​

Main article: Avgas
TEL remains an ingredient of 100 octane avgas for piston-engine aircraft. The current formulation of 100LL (low lead, blue) aviation gasoline contains 2.12 grams per US gallon (0.56 g/L) of TEL, half the amount of the previous 100/130 (green) octane avgas (at 4.24 grams per gallon),[95] and twice as much as the 1 gram per gallon permitted in regular automotive leaded gasoline prior to 1988 and substantially greater than the allowed 0.001 grams per gallon in automotive unleaded gasoline sold in the United States today.[96] The United States Environmental Protection Agency, FAA, and others are working on economically feasible replacements for leaded avgas, which still releases 100 tons of lead every year.[97]

My dad goes there as well. With the Costco credit card earn more points then buying elsewhere. Hopefully (not kms).
 
I don't pay any attention to the price. We spend about $1200 per year on gas. Not a large amount.
Must be nice. Ours can change every other Friday so I hold out or fill up. I also pump a few cents over a full dollar to earn an extra point. It all adds up. Except for when the point system is down and I miss out on 50-60 points.
 
We have four Kwik trips, and two are higher.
I generally like Kwik Trips and buy there when traveling throughout the state. LaCrosse is an area with goofy pricing at their stores though.
