What about prices while traveling? My stepdad died, so I'm looking at a 6 hour drive each way this weekend. I might be lucky if I can find 91 or above where I'm headed. Big problem with the modded GTP. Not looking forward to paying nearly $5 a gallon for it either!

$4.19 for 87
$4.29 for 89
$4.39 for 93
I'm pretty sure thats what it is for 89 and 93 it's usually about 10 cents higher for each grade.

Someone on my other forum posted this little tool.

drive pricing

It isn't perfect but it can help give you a estimate of fuel cost's for your trip.
Also sorry to hear of your loss.

Oil prices dropped 4.4% today. Largest drop in oil in 17 years. Let's all hope it continues downward.

i'll let you know ina bout an hour. i need gas this morning. i'm guessing somewhere around 5.45 for 87

edit:
close
1.44900 * 3.78 * .9982 = 5.467361/gallon
based on
(1.449/litre) * (conversion to US gal) * (current exchange rate)
