ike301 is on a distinguished road
Chevron on Bay Street (Marina) in San Francisco 2.69, 2.79, 2.89
Chevron on Ortega/19th (Sunset) in San Francisco 2.63,2.73,2.83

I use premium just b/c I've heard the higher octane burns cleaner, therefore it keeps the injectors cleaner.... don't quote me on this. Shoot, at these rates, I almost don't even want to drive = 25 gallons @ 2.89 = $72.25, or 25 gallons @ 2.83 = $70.75. We need a hybrid X5!

*edit* great.... just read that supercharger article.... "High octane fuel does not burn cleaner, it does not clean your engine, it does not increase horsepower or torque (unless you are experiencing knock), it does not smell better, it does not increase fuel economy (unless you are experiencing knock) and is not better for the environment." any other comments on that?
