Though the majority of us did not buy our Porsches for fuel mileage, I know I have been pleasantly surprised by both my wife's Macan S and my Cayman GTS, since even paying extra for Premium the mileage is so much better than the vehicles they replaced that we have seen our fuel bills drop quite a bit. Now, with supplies back up we are seeing really decent prices in Nebraska and just wondering what others are seeing around the Country. Currently in the Omaha Metro Area regular is running around $2.55 -2.59 at Costco and many lower priced Stations or Convenience Stores. Premium seems to sit around $3.03 -3.29 at the same places. Filling up the Ram truck seems reasonable now, but as I never let the Macan get too low for my wife , I find myself filling up for her often barely over $25 bucks!

Diesel is still around $4.00!

What are prices in your area ?

Cheapest gas in Nashville area per Gas Buddy is around $2.39 to $2.62 for Regular and $2.99 to $3.25 for Premium. That's at places like Costco, Walmart, Sams and other discount stations.

I always stick with Top Tier gas such as Shell and it's quite a bit higher. I paid around $3.65 for Shell Premium several days ago. Also, fuel prices are always significantly higher than those above in the south Metro Nashville area (Williamson county: Brentwood & Franklin).

Interesting note is that Costco is Top Tier, whereas Sam's Club is not.

I wonder if the Top Tier designation is dependent on a geographical area and the vast tanks from which so many stations draw before adding what not for their specific formulations?

Most premium fuel sold here is still 93 octane (some brands sell 92 octane as their highest grade). The $3.65 I mentioned above was for Shell V-Power Nitro+ 93 octane.

Just go to TopTiergas.com , as it will list Costco and others as I found out some years back there are brands you would expect to be TopTier fuel , which are not -- BP is a surprisingly example. Like you I often use Shell, but I will fill up on occasion at Costco since it is TopTier as noted.

Most fuel in Nebraska, including Shell, is 91 Octane, and I wish 93 was a bit more plentiful in our State - the only 93 near me is Murphy which is not TopTier.
