Regular is $2.09 here in the Rio Grande Valley. How low will it go?

I will be going to Costco tomorrow. It is usually the cheapest place in the valley.

I am a poor speculator so I would think my surmises would be highly flawed.

An engine needs a minimum level of octane to avoid ping, which is caused by uncontrolled combustion of fuel inside the cylinders. Excessive ping can severely damage the engine. The octane rating on the gasoline is a measure of its anti-knock or anti-ping properties. If your car doesn't ping on regular, then there's no reason to seek a higher-octane gasoline. The anti-knock level of the regular in this case is adequate for the engine, but as a car gets older, depending on how the car has been driven and cared for, it may need a higher-octane gasoline anytime between four and six years. That's because carbon deposits inside the cylinders raise the combustion ratio, which in turn raises the engine's octane rating. You may notice that your car operated fine on regular fuel when it was new, but pings on regular as it gets older. So, the higher-octane fuel is not something to pamper a new car with but rather help keep an older car running properly. My primary car is a V6 Caddy SRX, but my faithful old truck is a 2000 Silvarado 4x4 6.0 liter V-8. My FAVORITE car is one that my dad ordered new in 1969. It's a Chevy Caprice, 2 dr. hardtop with a 396 c.i
V'8. One owner, been in the family 49 years and has 69,178 actual miles. It's my show car. In addition, premium gasoline has some other selling points. Most premium gasolines have a higher-quality additive package put in at the refinery. The actual additives in a particular brand of gasoline are generally not disclosed by refiners. But usually they include detergents and other solvents that keep the carburetor and rest of the fuel system clean.
