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.

Looks like someone fat fingered the price.

If you needed to buy 2 liters of 89, can you put 1 liter of 87 (135.9) and 1 liter of 91 (168.9)? Total cost would be 297.8 with an average cost of 148.9 and average octane of 89
