    What’s going on with that “unleaded 88” that’s cheaper than regular 87 octane? I’ve never heard of it before.

        Ah, that makes sense, although I’m surprised they didn’t call it “E15”. I think in my area they don’t bother with it because regular unleaded is already “up to 10% ethanol” anyway, so it’d only be a 5% difference and that’s not worth taking a slot on the pump.

        Pointless too, the cost per gallon “savings” is nullified and then some by the loss of MPG.

        They price “premium” above the MPG savings also. It’s a no-win all around for us.
