Great price.

I was at Costco yesterday and Premium was $4.69 (91 Octane here).
This is definitely the best price in my area. Everywhere else is $4.80'ish and higher.

Somewhere between 10-50 miles to empty. Also usually depends on when I'm going to be close to the nearest Costco.

Costco near me is $1.879 for a litre right now.
Going back to work Saturday and it's currently $2.189 a litre.

going to pump up the air in the bicycle tires and risk my life on the streets to save some money so I can eat.
Yep, we noticed a local station here went from being $3.89/gal for weeks to $4.29/gal....

At least my wife and I don't drive much anymore...

I see some ups and downs on the list, I've had 4 new Rangers ...'88, '92, '01. an now '19.
They were all pretty much identical in reliability Zero unscheduled maintenance for the first 100, 000 miles.
The worst Rangers I ever had were in fleet, 1997's ( about a dozen)
The defect was a new design switch for the door chime / interior light (admittedly a bad design).

So are you conservative and fill up early or adventurous and live on the edge??
I generally run through a full tank, start thinking about it once I hit 1/4 tank. Usually lasts me a 1.5 weeks depending on the weekend activities.

I've been driving my mustang for the past month while my truck's engine gets replaced. A full tank of 93 only lasts me ~240 miles if I have the discipline to drive like a granny. I'd be filling up every other day if I only used a half tank!

I fill up at about the 50 mile warning or 1/4 tank remaining. I seem to live on the edge of a delivery zone for fuel carriers- 700 feet into Wisconsin from Minnesota. The fuel price for 87 octane E10 varies from $3.81.9 Hastings, MN to $4.19.9 Prescott, WI. If I drive across the river 3.4 miles (6.8 round trip), I save 38¢/gal, or $6.73 on a recent 17.711 gallon fill. Sometimes the difference is more like ~4-10¢, seldom is Sconnie cheaper.

I paid $4.74 per gallon here in IllAnnoy yesterday up .35 from two weeks ago.
A $2.85 increase since the day before the inauguration when it was $1.89 at the same pump.

Fortunately, My TC gets 28MPG when driven carefully, I'm retired, and now apparently under financial house arrest.

Not to brag, but…. I decided this thread was a challenge.

Scary. Dealer once left my Focus at 10 miles to empty and I was freaking the heck OUT finding a gas station on the way home. ?
