• price of 98 octane in Aus converts to USD5.20 per US gallon (98 is our highest octane petrol available for road use)

Has your's skyrocketed in price recently?

Cheers (and commiserations)!

In our area the price is now $5 and approaching $6 here in Las Vegas for 85/87 (usual street gas.I don't keep track of "high octane" any more). Lots higher in CA, 4.00-4.50 in other areas of the country. We had gotten down to 4.15 and it jumped to 4.49 (best price at Sams with card, 5.25+ typical elsewhere) in the past week or so at a time when it should be going down until spring. A place I got it for 3.02 in Colorado in July is now 3.32.
