$2.57 at Sears Point for 91. I'm lucky. It's on my way home from work.

ouch you got to remember shell also charges extra because of the refinery fires they had. so they expect you to pay for their own mistakes

wow, this is horrible.

$3.29 a gallon for 91 makes 100 octane racegas at $4.39 sound like a bargain.

I think I'm going to be parking the WRX for a while if gas prices stay like this. My new 85 horsepower 1.8 liter Suby might actually come in handy.

Jason, don't tell me that you use that Shell crap in the wagon? I would'nt use that stuff if it was free. Also in the city the prices are even higher.

I don't buy gas there, but considering that they are at least 30 cents per gallon higher than the 4-5 other stations within a 4 block radius, I figured it was worthy of a photo...the Arco station that is literally across the street from the Shell station is $2.79 for premium, which makes me question the sanity of anyone who would pay $3.29 a gallon.
