Well when something looks to good to be true. Well it is not. I live in central Illinois. Bloomington area. We recently had a new HyVee store open here. To my surprise their gas station has alcohol free premium. It has been running about 30 cents more per gallon than regular. That is about normal for this area. I don't live very close to the store and it is not convenient for me to buy gas. But being it was alky free I have been driving truck in and buying several jugs of fuel at a time. Well tonight I ran in to purchase fuel. They raise their prices big time. 71 cents per gallon more for the premium. They lost a customer. I just sent an email to the company headquarters. And for the record all other stations here has alcohol in the premium but when testing I see no difference in milage at all. So in my opinion HYVee SUX big time.

Never heard of HyVee. They new to ILL-inois?
-
Big super store from Iowa. same company that owns Casey stores from what I hear. They opened up and Cub foods locked their doors. They went in where the original Walmart opened then K's Merchandise was at. Wait a mionute I have a better description for you. Across the road from where Fanny's Trolley was. AH back in the good old days.

Paid $5 a gallon in Big Sur, California the first week in June.

Riding to Cortez, I passed through Aspen, and paid $4.25 a gal. >:(

$3.06 for regular E-10 here in beautiful downtown Belfair, Wa. 8)

I paid $2.39/gal for mid-grade in SC yesterday ;D

There's a HyVee up here in DeKalb, it's been there for 5 years or so. I've never bought fuel there though but they do have good doughnuts. :)

Maybe this'll make you feel better....
Last time I gassed up : 1.40 per litre - that's 1.75 in US$ When you convert that to US Gallons, it's $6.62.
That's normal here...
Enjoy your (mostly) sub $5 gas. ;D

For the first time in years, I've been paying less for diesel than gasoline in northern Mn.
$2.559 D2 (Mn bio blend).
Diesel has been the real money maker for the oil companies for several years.

That would relieve us of supporting Chicago.

What's the tax load on fuel in Canada?
-
What's the tax load on fuel in Canada?
It varies from province to province, but here in Ontario, it's somewhere around 37%.
Yeah, it's a lot, but even before tax, with the exchange, we're paying $4 a gallon... >:(

My and this gal from Canada were riding deep within the blue ridge mountains and came upon a "pump first, pay after" gas station. And NO credit card technologies ;D

I don't know why your gas should be so high. Canada is one of our (US) biggest suppliers of petroleum. Ya'll have a plethora (word of the day) of the stuff. Your gas should be cheaper than ours.

Jim, Canada is like NY and CA, TAX YOU TO DEATH (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j180/stevewfl/bigthumb.gif)

I'm thinkin' that you have the exchange rate inverted. I came up with $1.07 US per liter using today's exchange rate of .77US = 1.00Cdn.
The Loonie has really taken a hit, no doubt. We will be up there the end of August taking advantage of the conversion rate and spending money as we go around the top of Superior in our Roadtrek.
Just checked Gasbuddy.com, the price for 87 in The Soo is 123, about the same in Thunder Bay and of course ten cents higher in White River, which is about normal for that town.
Rough math guess would be about 3.65-3.75 per gallon. Higher than the US, for sure, but that's pretty much always been the case.

I don't know of any place near me that is alcohol free.

Steve Spurrier is from Johnson City and most every one disowned him over that little Florida team. 8)

I filled up the bike and the Jetta yesterday. $3.139 for 93 octane and $2.699 for D2.

Stop yer whining about high gas prices! We have it easy in the USA, I was just in Norway, gas is REALLY expensive there. It's around $10 a gallon. It cost $110 to put 3/4 of tank in my brother
-in-laws Audi.
Of course it's not just gas that is excruciatingly expensive there. A 4 liter (gallon) jug of premium synthetic oil is $120, and a new VW Golf Wagon (AWD loaded model) is $68,000!

Don't you just love confiscatory tax rates?
-
I would imagine in Europe where fuel is expensive, they have quite a good system of public transportation. I would think that high fuel prices, narrow roads, and expensive cars would also encourage people to use those systems. Not saying its right or wrong or good or bad for us here in the U.S. but I would park my car in a second if I could use public transportation easily. BTW, $2.39/gal here in Cleveland, OH, but, it fluctuates as much as .60 cents at a time, mostly up, tomorrow, it will be $2.90/gal. I do appreciate our low fuel prices.

Is that a country?

Yes, Norway is a country. It's beautiful there, and is consistently at the top of "happiest people" lists, despite their astronomical cost of living.

Cage fill-up this week at Hy-Vee:
(and p.s. -- I don't think there's any ownership connection between Hy-Vee and Caseys...)
-
pump broke?
-
Nope. Hy-Vee offers promotional discounts on many grocery items in the form of discounts on gas. Usually one or two cents per gallon per item, sometimes as much as 25 cents on more pricey items. They are redeemable on a gas purchase of up to 20 gal. Recent grocery purchases there accumulated $1.75 per gal. in discounts, so when I filled the car, the net price was 88 cents a gal! Hah, first time I'd paid less than a buck a gallon in more years than I care to mention! Just had to get a pic of it...
