Here it's still a 10 cent spread between grades.

screw you PA with the highest state gasoline taxes in the entire country
Last time I filled up (over a week ago - thanks COVID!) I paid $3.289/gallon for 91 octane.

I'll be happy to trade gas prices with you if you want.

Drop down to $1.69/gal for regular and still charge $0.65 differential for premium is complete bullshit.
I noticed the same thing.

$1.53 Regular
$2.23 Premium

Here's the history on how we got screwed and ended up with the highest state gas tax in the entire nation.

Back when Rendell (D) was Governor, he got the brilliant idea to make Interstate 80 a toll road. Had the money spent before the final planning was done.

Guess what? Federal money was used to build Interstate 80 and the feds told him the only way to collect tolls on that road was pay back every single dime spent on the road.

By the time that happened, he was already out of office but next D governor raised the gasoline tax .10 every year for four years straight.

PA used to be a decent state but taxes are killing it. My wife and I will NOT be retiring in PA

Hoovering around $1.35 last couple of weeks. It's gone up to around $1.60 or so. They always blame 'summer traveling' or the nearer you get to Atl., GA. the special summer blend. I can go a couple of miles to the next county and it be a lot cheaper because they aren't considered part of the Atlanta blend and I'm 75 miles from Atl.

I filled up the Suburban this morning on my way to work at $2.099 for Sunoco 87.

On my way home, they added another ten cents to the price so it's $2.199
