    Many people don't want E85 if they can get real GAS because of the poor mileage. However IF it were priced right, I believe that it would sell. And if it were made of cellulose etc. not corn or soy, food prices would be lower.

    Just paid $3.60 for 87 at HESS in Philadelphia area.

    Well I stopped going there due to it being only a few cents cheaper and getting worse mileage.

    The last time I went to Raceway was late last summer. I pay a few cents extra and get more mileage.

    Yeah, it needs to be at least $0.30 cheaper than gas to account for the reduced mileage. Also if the tarriff were removed from foreign ethanol it would be a lot cheaper.

    There is nothing wrong with it. When you quote something, the quoted text is always in italics. your original post is correct.

    There was, the word HESS did not show up in "BOLD" & "DARK GREEN" due to a misplaced paranthesis in Jerro's original post and in your post where you quoted him. I had fixed both, you must have edited after my edit of his original post.

    PS: Jerro, was that the correction you wanted?

    I guess that's what it was. The only thing I saw wrong was that it was in italics.

    $3.62/gallon for 87 octane at Mobil. This is the average now. The highest I have seen in my area is $3.79/gallon for 87 octane.

    Has anyone ever paid more than this for regular?

    When I went to Shasta Lake, CA (Near Mt Shasta) back in August 2007,
    I had to pay $4.98 per gallon for 87 to refill the boat's tank.

    Breakdown is like this:
    $3.00 for retail gas, $1.00 to transport the gas to the lake, and about $1.00 profit to Digger Bay Marina (owned the boat).

    $52.00 for about 10.4 gallons.
    I wanted to travel 10 miles to go get gas for about $3.00, but couldn't.

    I could only imagine how much they'll charge now...
    My guess is about $6.00.

    The good thing about most family boats is that you can use car gas. Why not bring a few 5 gallon gas cans?

    I'm not sure if they'll let let you, even though it's possible.
    We didn't have any containers.
    They just want extra $$$ from you renting their boat. :mad:

    Gas has went up $.05, down $.12 & then back up $.15 this week.

    In Iowa, our 87 is always ethanol and at least $.10 cheaper than non-ethanol. You can find E85 more & more, which is highly subsidized and IIRC about $.50-.80 cheaper than 87 octane.

    I pay no attention to flex fuel vehicles getting E85, but I thought they were specifically built to get better gas mileage when using the blend. Not so???

    Its not just the oil companies, terrorist nations are financed by oil money. That I resent more. But we still can't drill here, might kill some pseudo-endangered species. Premium here is $3.79

    I just paid $3.26 at Murphy USA on East Main Street (US-29) in Spartanburg, SC with the 3 cent gift card discount. Down From $3.34.

    To this day, I've never paid more than $3.39 per gallon to fill up my car's gas tank. :cycle:
    I feel sorry for the rest of the country, including the coast of the state that I'm in.

    Yesterday I paid $3.39 at Ingle's near the Westgate Mall in Spartanburg, SC.

    it's up to $3.47 here in Gaffney :mad: so far higher than its ever been.

    A few days ago, I was just west of Greenville, SC near Easley on Hwy 123,
    and there was an Exxon charging $3.79. :eek:

    I only imagine how much it is in California.
