$3 per tank is still worth the extra.  Sorry to hear that it's now that
much In CT.  I do have a comment about that. . . . . I live there up
until 2 years ago, Fairfield county.  I couldn't take the high cost any
more, $1.57 for gas, $6000 per year in personal property tax.  Thank you
Gov. Lowel Wieker.  Forgot to mention the big drop in property value.
Very happy to pay $1.30 per gal. here in Alabama!!

The price of 93 octane fuel in Connecticut is $1.59 (ouch). 87 octane
is $1.37 if you save $0.50 using 87 octane that means your tank only
holds 2.2 gallons. My 14 gallon tank costs $3 more per fill up with 93 octane.
 It works out to about $100 per 10,000 miles. See if it is worth it for the
 performance increase you get.

Comments Welcome!!
