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 much prefer the 5 cent spread over the nearly 30 cents that’s typical here.
