AMCJeepMJ Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Last tank fill on October 21st was $3.219/gal... previous tank fill on September 17th was a $3.789/gal at same station. The last time I paid this low per gallon was February 13th of this year. The lowest I have paid all year long was on January 16th at $3.169/gal. All of these were for 87 octane at the Fred Meyer gas station here in town... I even try to get the same pump each fill just to remain consistent on tracking fuel economy.
PEEJ Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I run non ethanol in my Comanche ,Jet Skis,4 wheeler and lawn equipment.It's still around $3.25 around here. But that's a big drop from where it's been,Any one else running non ethanol in their Comanche?
ComancheKid45 Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 If it was available in my state I wouldnt ever touch blended junk ever again...
dj5 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 87 for $2.99 here now :D gas has been droppin quick here
rmoore1031 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 When this thread was made, about $2.71. Now its going up here to $2.89. But in the 5 months of living here in Arkansas the highest I saw was $3.19. Way better than it was in NY or CT :yes:
ParadiseMJ Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 We finally broke $3 a gallon here. It's been tween $2.99 and $2.95 for about 2 wks. First time in 4-5 yrs. below $3...I can' even remember the last time I filled the tank for under $50
HOrnbrod Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I run non ethanol in my Comanche ,Jet Skis,4 wheeler and lawn equipment.It's still around $3.25 around here. But that's a big drop from where it's been,Any one else running non ethanol in their Comanche? About the same $$ for non-ethanol here. I run it in my carbed stuff since ethanol and whatever other "junk additives" are in it ruins diaphragms pretty quick. I don't think it's worth the extra coin for constant use in injected vehicles since I can't remember anything that failed due to additives except for the occasional o-ring.
dj5 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 non ethanol here is about $4.20 or so depending and theres only 1 station I know of in my area, definitely not using that considering its more than $1/gal more than ethanol gas here
dasbulliwagen Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Down to $2.59 today. I run non ethanol in mine. Not sure if it makes a difference or not but it makes me feel better for some reason. The non ethanol runs 30-40 cents more per gallon here when you can find it.
Keyav8r Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Paid $2.639 for regular at an Exxon in Springville, AL yesterday. Probably had 10% ethanol in it. On another subject, had to use my 91 MJ as a daily driver for a few days while having a transmission put in my Silverado. Got 18 + MPG, mostly highway miles at 70 - 75 MPH.
Pete M Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Just put some diesel in the libby.... ...for $3.74 a gallon... not that long ago I would have thought that was a decent price... :(
1986Comanche Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 If it was available in my state I wouldnt ever touch blended junk ever again... Non-Ethanol gas is available in Pennsylvania!

Incommando Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Interesting theory: North America has large oil reserves but it has always been cheaper to import then recover what is here. As oil broke $100/barrel it became economical to invest in the infrastructure to recover that oil and to invest in new technologies such as fracking. That threatened the profits of the current producers in OPEC. OPEC in general and Saudi Arabia in particular waited until the investments were made and then began cutting their prices back to levels that made extracting the local oil unprofitable while making those above investments to recover the local oil into business losses. If that is true have we just been played? Were the artificially high prices of the last few years part of a plan to create this situation? If so how many such cycles before people become gun shy in investing in local recovery? The "conspiracy theory" aspect is not my own although it seems plausible. That recovering N. American oil requires a relatively high price per barrel to be profitable and it is cheaper to import oil unless a threshold near $100 is met is considered a given. That Saudi Arabia has recently increased production and lowered prices drastically which lead to the current drop in crude prices is also true. I just found this interesting anyway. Your mileage may vary. $2.84 here today
Guest Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 diesel is up over 4 bucks again... Yeowch. I feel ya. Hovering around $3.60ish down here in the middle of FL. Good thing I don't run Diesel rigs. :banana: Regular, non-ethenol gas is still more expensive than diesel though. :doh:
Blue88Comanche Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 If it was available in my state I wouldnt ever touch blended junk ever again... Non-Ethanol gas is available in Pennsylvania! Check out this site to see if there are any stations in your area who sell it: http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=PA I'm kinda sad there is not an 93 octane Non-Ethanol near me lol
dasbulliwagen Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 The non eth I buy is 89 octane, but is also about the same price as diesel. I'm not sure its worth it or not, but Ill keep getting it for the MJ as long as I can find it. I started getting it just for the mowers, but I figured it would be better in the truck than the alky stuff, and for no more than I drive it, it can't hurt.
Incommando Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 2.67 for straight regular here this morning
HOrnbrod Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 I don't keep track of it because there's not a damn thing I can do to control the price. However I have noticed that since fuel prices started going down, my personal fuel (beer) price has been going up. :hmm:
Steve Gregory Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 $2.76 at the Pilot my McDonald's shares a building with.
gogmorgo Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 The drop has stopped up here, as of a couple weeks ago. It went up about $0.06/L, but it's held pretty steady there. Sucks... We got so close to <$1/L. :(
