I recently went for a trip to Denver CO. I live in IL so I drove across Iowa Nebraska and Colorado I have noticed (asside from 91 octane premium) that mid grade fuel is less expensive from regular anyone knows why is that? Who would actually buy regular if mid grade is cheaper anyway?

If I had to guess the reg. didn't have ethanol and the mid grade has 10% ethanol.

Hi guys,

I think in this case old europe is one step further! We have the same thing in Germany - the oil industry want to affiliate two kind of fuel into one - so it's cheaper for them, but more expensive for us.

Maybe you will get this discussion in a few months...
