I paid $4.199 for 91 octane at the local Arco station here in CA this weekend. Gas is so freakin' expensive here that I shop for price although I stay away from places that look sketchy. Since Arco probably doesn't have the same additives as Shell or Chevron I run a bottle of Techron through it before every oil change and add a bottle of Lucas UCL every 5k miles and also add a dose of MMO to the fuel every 2-3K miles. I have been doing this for years with several vehicles, have never paid for a dealer FI cleaning and never experienced problems with a fuel pump or injectors, which supposedly are adversely affected with cheap gas and the presence of ethanol.
