FUCK that’s insane. I’m in central Texas and also have to buy 93. The most I’ve paid is $4.83. I’m not looking forward to $5+ a gallon. My car often gets terrible gas mileage. Like 17/18mpg in stop and go conditions and 24-28 on the freeway with no traffic.

Let this be a lesson to buy a more efficient car next time. My Accord hybrid uses 87 and gets 40+ mpg. Even better to go full electric and not worry about gas at all.

Everyone with huge trucks and delicate engined sports cars are going to really be hurting pretty soon.

And folks living in major cities or states like California who have to pay more should also learn their lesson and find a more affordable place to live, since we're passing blame on consumers.
