Thank You President Trump for lowering gas prices!




I bought gas yesterday for $5.59, not great but always better than the prices you post.


You might want to post prices in your area for CHEVRON for an accurate "apples to apples" comparison, especially given the fuel additives like Techron in CHEVRON gasoline.

Posting claims of "other" prices is obvious conflation and irrelevant.

ie). A CHEVRON in Whittier shows Premium at $6.59

Thanks.




I bought Costco gas for 5.59. Posting expensive brands is misleading. Obviously, I wish Costco gas was under $5, but I am glad I don't pay $6+.


Not misleading at all.
That is a totally FALSE statement.

Do you know where Costco gasoline comes from?
Do you know who the refiner is?

My guess is that you have no idea.
Maybe Ai can tell you.

It's probably good enough gas for someone's Mini Van.

Thanks, but I wouldn't be caught dead putting Costco gasoline into my Porsche GT3 or Macan GTS.
I would imagine I'm not alone in that regard.







Yes, I wouldn't be caught dead putting Costco gasoline into your Porsche GT3 or Macan GTS. I will, however, put it in my KIA SUV. My other car is a Tesla, so gas price is irrelevant there. 99% of the population would you truly are accept putting Costco gas in their car. In this case, you truly are in the 1%. Let's monitor the price of Grey Poupon next.


Thanks for finally coming around to agreeing with me about unbranded gasoline.
Putting unbranded gasoline into this 4.0 liter GT engine would be a real dumb idea.

This is the last of the NA motors that Porsche builds.
They are so secretive about it that the factory won't even share "specs" on it with mechanics at the dealership.

Feel free to get back to me and let me know where Costco gasoline comes from.
I'm sure others here would like to know where their gas comes from.





Costco gas is Top Tier gas, which is something you have made a big deal about in the past. It comes from planet Earth.

Probably safe to put into a Mini Van or a mass produced South Korean SUV with a 10-year warranty.
YMMV.

As said above, it isn't for the 1%.

Trump only cares about the Top 1%
The people that voted for him got duped.

God forbid if you drive a diesel pick-up truck.

I think I remember last time I was at a gas station back in September. I don't remember what I paid. That car is still at 3/4 of a tank.

Growing up, I rode 2-stroke dirt bikes in the 70's and loved the smell of Castrol.
I also worked at two gas stations in my hometown while in high school.
A Chevron and an Exxon station.

I enjoy driving an ICE car.
Have no interest in driving a computer.

YMMV.





The can above is available on Ebay for $21.99

VLO looks super overextended.
Just broke the previous weekly low.

The 3-2-1 crack spread has got to be coming in.

$380 is a chip shot away.
