94 octane gasoline = quieter ICE

I kinda twigged to that, just reading the notices on the pumps, at a (Canadian) Shell station:

Regular: 10% ethanol
Mid-Grade: 5% ethanol
Premium: ethanol free

(I appreciate in the States all grades have around 10% ethanol.)

 

Ka-chiiiinnnnngggggg!

 

Ah, as reported above, Costco customers get 4%(not 3%) back on gasoline purchases. Now Burlington Costco is $2.26 a gallon...... BELOW everyone else. Ka-CCCChhhhhiiiiiggggg! Ka-CCChhhhiiiiggggg!
Best price in the state. With that lead, the Burlington Gas War will become the gas war & will probably end soon?.........

P.S: Oh, oh. Some gas station 300 miles away in low-ball Spokane, just went to $2.24.

 

It's funny, when we go to Costco, the gas bar is always stacked up like there's a gas shortage or something. I've never bothered to join the herd; pull into (near deserted) Chevron if we're running low. Costs us and extra 4~5 cents a liter, but when you're filling up once a month...

 

I drove past lots of stations yesterday that were $2.139.

 

I filled up last night for $3.39.

Just thankful I’m far enough away from San Francisco where it’s still around $4 a gallon.

But 65 F and sunny yesterday with more of the same on tap for the foreseeable future .

 

Now ya know how bad gas prices have been in Wa state since Alaska ain't sendin' too much fuel now. Said Burlington Costco is $2.26 per, while Seattle low is ~ $2.65. Highly advertised gasoline is even higher (duh).

 

Any residual heat from the forest fires? Washington state warm January 2019, due to AGW.
