Prices for 89 octane in my area (South Central Penn's Woods) has been holding at about $2.85 gallon lately. I'm at a half-tank and will likely fill-up Saturday. I'll need gas for the lawn mower, too.
I expect to see some Hawaiian-style prices on my way to the Pine Tree State at the end of this month. Fueling up on the New York Thruway tends to get a bit expensive. If I can get to the Mass Pike (if I go that way) or Bennington, VT (if I go that way) I know I can do better, but only by a few cents. And Mom usually pays for that anyway. I know I can make it that far on a tank full if I stick to between 55 to 60 M.P.H. so I can save her some money.
