What are you paying for a gallon of Premium?

$4.19 for premium Shell V-power. Thinking of just using Murphy's is gas brand really matters? Aren't all gas rated the same for premium at the very least?

Octanes should be the same since it's highly regulated. I think the main difference among some brands is the additives. Some of the "lower tier" gas stations actually source their fuel from the big names like Shell, Exxon, etc.

It doesn't really matter. It's pretty much the same 93 octane at all gas stations. You pay extra for Shell, Chevron, BP, etc...for the extra additives they add to the fuel. I think the best thing you can do is try to find a gas station that does not use ethanol or the 10% ethanol blends. It burns faster than regular gas in turn making your gas mileage suffer.

Oh and I paid $4.05 last time I filled up. It is definately going to be $5+ by summer. I just hope it stays below $6!!!
