Gas is cheaper the farther you get from a popular Freeway. Such as in my case for example,..76 stations near the freeways out here (101, 405 and etc) charge 3.41 for 91,....but...1-3 miles away from those same freeways on those same streets on the same day at another 76 its 3.09 for 91. Its a pattern I noticed a few months back. I also noticed that every other gas station out here does this also.
Question.
I get 54 miles to every quarter tank except for my last quarter tank of fuel I get 76 miles. Has anyone heard or experienced this before?

thats how my tank is too. it kinda pisses me off cause people will ask for a ride and ill tell them i dont have much gas or whatver. when they get in the car and see i have almost a half tank they get all *** rashed on me...that is until they see that im almost on emtpy when we get to their house. gas went down though...which is nice cause im using nothin but 91 now. in fresno, ca its just under three for 91...it got pretty high for a while...i remember paying like 3.70 for 91 once.

paid $2.29 for 91 octane today. regular 87 is down to $2.08 
$18 to drive 170 miles. sounds like a bargain nowadays
gas prices coming down just in time for me to go off to school and hang up my car keys
