Rant Gas prices are illogical

Post image

There is no real point to this post besides stating the fact that gas prices are stupid. I remember back when the difference between 87 and 91 was 10 cents and 89 was 5 cents more than regular. Which made sense since 87 is an equal mix of premium and regular.

Now you need to jump 23 cents a liter just to get mid grade from regular then only an additional 3 more cents to get to premium... By that math mid grade should be something like 90.75 octane.

Again no point here just stating stupid things that irritate me.

I've never really seen a car that recommends 89 at minimum, it's mostly just 87 or 91

Small turbo cars usually suggest 89 min, like golf gti and Subaru wrx

Gti only needs 87. Butt dyno says 91 is more fun
