King of Prussia, PA - $1.97 Regular (87), $2.37 Premium (91)
When I bought this thing I was paying $4.85 for Premium. This is a welcome change. Now lets see if every dim wit in the country can restrain themselves from buying SUVs now that gas is down again. People tend to have very short memories and little to no concept of supply and demand.

$1.98 for 92 octane.
And guys, I already see a whole bunch more Hummers on the road than I did this summer.
Collectively, we never learn, do we?
Just had another one of our monthly "State of the Company" meetings today, a nice break in an otherwise crappy day. Per the CEO's we're loving these prices, company/retail-wise. Lower prices mean, obviously, people driving & buying gas not to mention less cost for inventory (the stuff in the tanks). Lower prices mean we pay less on C.C. fees (presently 3% per gallon sold).
It's all good from the retail perspective. One of the CEO's said that if we could sell gas for 69.9 (for 1 cent, the rest of the cents are taxes, fees, etc.) we'd be in heaven.
Interestingly enough, we're getting out of the Ethanol business. We owned a tank farm in Madison that we partially leased to another retail C-store entity in Eastern WI that stored Ethanol exclusively. We've sold it to them earlier this month & no longer use Ethanol is any of our products. Ethanol is now priced by far higher than Petrol, corn futures have dropped like rocks, one of the major players in the biz have declared bankruptcy, the reasons are many.
Can't say I'm sorry to see it go. If we could just utilize junk plants instead of starch-rich grains we'd be all set but it's the sugar/starch that matters.

Kurt,
You know you have made my day. Ethanol is a bust idea. Thanks Al Gore.
Gas here is $ 1.52 for 87 $ 1.72 for High test. I'm driving my brother all over the county today to empty the tank of the high priced $ 2.21 stuff I bought last week.
