After taking the road trip to Florida last week I noticed the "cheap gas" was in Tennessee???? Not sure why that is though. I paid $3.44 a gallon. Kentucky seemed to be .10 more. It wasn't till I hit Illinois did i see almost 4 bucks. Sooooooo it's more expensive to formulate the "summer gas" in the midwest? Even Florida was cheaper.

I've seen a small hike around my area as well $3.95 Reg to $4.15 Sup.... On an added note here is a small article about summer blend vs winter blend
We're also approaching the May 1 deadline for U.S. refineries to switch over from winter blends to summer blends of gasoline. AAA notes conventional summer-blend gas contains 1.7 percent more energy than the winter versions, which might also account for why your gas mileage seems better in the summer. But it also notes that those summer blends are "more expensive to produce, and that cost is passed on to the motorist."
I myself try and stick with pure gas even though it's more expensive ($0.25 - $.035 more a gallon)

It is Ethanol free and I have seen better gas mileage but yes it's more expensive, read multiple articles that it is far better for your vehicle than ethanol gas.... Here is a link to Ethanol Free gas

The way gas prices are going for years it's no surprise recreational activities will suffer. RV's will park instead of moving, boat manufacturing stay stagnant, people float more and more.My son and friends grew up boating with me and have fond memories but they all say they won't be buying boats any time soon because of the operating costs involved.Can't blame them. They rather spend their money on cars that can be enjoyed on short trips, hanging around local events, spending much less on fuel compared to boats, motorhomes, traveling trailers.
Like Dean Ferry, I'll spend more time driving my Viper around with friends and their high performance cars, visiting great places in a 60 mile radius.
Regular is 151.7c per liter this morning. Premium is 167.9 c , yikes!
