Ha. I wish premium were only .20 more per gallon than regular. Back when the regular was $1.50 - 2.00, maybe, but now I see .30 to .35 more. Almost 12% surcharge.
For a premium-using car with a 18.5 gallon tank, that would be almost $6.50 more per fillup -- and if you fill up 25 times a year, that's over $150 you could have used on oil changes or other minor things . . . like food.
It's a shell game, all right. (No pun intended, V-Power users.)
