The next GAS scam! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Is it just me or have stations around you changed from 93 octane to 92 octane for premium? Premium used to be only 93 and sunnoco used to offer 94 ULTRA.

Not only is the price going way up, but it seems like they are doing this and I dont think many people are noticing. This reminds me of the old 16 oz coffee cans, first they had 16 oz in them, then they gradually reduced the amount of coffee in them to 14 oz and kept the same size can.....

I mainly fill up and drive in southern NY, NEPA and northern Jersey and can report that it is happening everywhere!!!

I have to check 2 or 3 stations before I find 93 and if they only have 92 i will only get about 4 or 5 gallons to get me to a station with 93.

Yeah I've seen that at a couple stations here in Sandusky, Ohio. The Sunocco here used to have 93 and 94, now it's 91 and 93 is in the place of the ultra. But premium is still 93 octane at Sam's Club and that's where I always go.

The only place i notice this is Wawa. They have 91. Everywhere else I go is 93. (Cecil County, MD / New Castle, DE)

Eleven;
Check your coffee can again, Maxwell House = 11.5oz.

Galy,

It was just what i noticed. everything is happening like this. Bags of chips are down from 14oz to 10.5 oz now. With the same price.

Hey Eleven, the answer to your sig question is Dillenger. That is if you are talking about the original Tron. The evil program was the Master Control program.

Well get ready, the administration is floating a plan today to tax people on per mile driven. Isn't that what the gasoline tax was for?

I was watching the news about a year ago, they were doing a story on cereal. Box is the same size when you look at it from the front but it is thinner an the price is the same if not higher. What's next.

One station on my way back from college went from 93 to 92 and the price went from $4.17 to $4.25. Less is LITERALLY more!
