So some of my clients happen to be gas stations. The one I am most familiar with has explain to me they have 3 tanks. One is filled with 87 octane, one with 93 octane, and then the diesel.
He only offers Regular, Mid and Super
Regular = 87
Super = 93
and Mid = 89, this rating is achieved by using 60% 87, and 40% 93
It would appear that 91 would be 40% 87 and 60% 93
So this morning I stopped to get gas. The 93 button didn't work so instead of moving my truck I settled for 89. Then while I was filling I glanced at the prices.
87 = 2.88
89 = 3.11
93 = 3.21
Using the above percentage one gallon of 89 with the same markup as 87 and 93 should result in a price of 3.01 instead of 3.11. So gas stations are making an extra 10 cents per gallon on 89.
Cliffs: Don't buy mid grade. They're raping you in the ass for an extra 10 cents per gallon.
