Curious about the price of real gas.
 

I was in Montana last month and noticed that non-alcohol gas was offered at Premium prices. That is, the same price as alcohol/corn premium, which was about $2.40/gal where we were.

Currently, in Portland, Oregon, where I live, premium corn gas is about $2.40/gal, but real gas, what we call clear gas here, is $3.99, $1.60 more than corn premium, and about $1.85 more than regular. I am just curious if others are seeing the same price differential between corn gas, premium corn gas, and real gas.

Independence, VA,,unbranded local station has "good" gas for $2.36. Others around Here have corn gas for $1.95.

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

Albuquerque, NM, We are at the mercy of ONE station that carries Pure Gas in Premium only at $2.89, where Regular 10% ethanol is about $2.10. Also, here, our octane readings are about 2 points lower than surrounding states.
Not that octane means much to a Model A, here Reg is usually 85 or 86, Extra is 87 to 89, & Premium can be 90 to 92.

Regular 'Corn' gas : $2.60 per gallon

Ethanol-Free gas : $5.20 per gallon, plus signing a California State Document that states you will NOT use Ethanol-Free gas to power any vehicle on any public road in California.

Available from only one source in Humboldt County.

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

Here in Ga it is available at the Race Trac stations. Usually about 60 cents more than regular. Right now reg is running about @2.10 per gal.

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

I was told last September in Nebraska that the farmers co-op in the state has been able to get a law passed that puts a surcharge on gas that does not contain ethanol. This helps protect the corn growers and ethanol producers. This may not be true but it is what I was told when I asked about the crazy price differential.

$2.559 here. Rod

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

Ray, we have a couple of stations out in our area that sell it for about $1 more a gallon that the reg corn gas.

I can not find it where I live

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

Fred, I've found clear gas/real gas in a couple places near me, but as I said, $3.99/gal.

springerpete thread #8.... yes this is true and varies from state to state. The Corn Lobby is so powerful that they had varies govt. agencies pass laws to protect them and their nonsense.

If it weren't for the govt. stealing from the people and then 'giving' the money to the corn growers in the forms of 'subsidies' Ethanol would be more expensive and nobody would buy it.

Free market at work:rolleyes:

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

Our Hy-Vee grocery store is the only place I can find it. Bought some today $2.69 , E10 is $1.83 but the 2.69 is for premium.

Good gas was $3.27 a week ago. Today crap gas is $2.02 at one station and $2.15 at most.

Supply and demand sets the price.

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

Do you even have corn gas in Canada?

Woodypecker, Don't know where Clarkstown is but maybe there is a town close by.

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

That's what I was taught too, Mike, but I don't think that applies to gas. At least not at the local level. I'm just paranoid enough to believe in price collusion. :eek:

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

Part of the reason octane ratings are a couple points lower in NM is the altitude. Seems 86 in your state is equivalent to 87 out here in Whackofornia. In any case, the A seems to run fine on anything short of olive oil.

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

I would think for any specialty item (gas included) it would play a big part. If there is only one station in town that sells the "recreational" fuel, he can afford to set his price higher then a town with several stations selling the same thing. Also if there is no demand in either town they would not religate a pump for the fuel and not even offer it.

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

Can't be.............price fixing is illegal.
It's just a coincidence that two stations next to each other always have the same price.:D:p

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

Mike, that's only in high school text books buddy. Today, real world, it's speculation that sets prices. From inflated housing to inflated farm land to the inflated stock market. The trouble ramping up in the Middle East is bound to influence oil prices once again. Has little to do with S&D. Example: the U.S. is poised to be the world's biggest oil exporter soon. There is a tremendous amount of oil in the South China Sea yet to be developed, (The Golden Dragon) and they say even Russia hasn't figured out yet just how much oil they have.

Now, if they would turn Model A Fords into a speculative venture----- Naw, won't happen!

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

The pump for ethanol free is the same as E10. If I'm filling gas cans, I'll pump a couple gallons into my truck before putting it in the can. I'm not sure but the line could hold a gallon of E10 and contaminate the pure gas. In my motorcycles a half gallon is a lot of fuel, the A tank isn't very big eather. What would be nice is if they had separate lines.

Just a thought.

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

We have more oil then we know what to do with, holding tanks are full everywhere and the crude oil price continues to fall.
I can see oil falling to close to $25 per barrel, even today, crude oil price is near $40 per barrel yet the price at the pump remains quite high, gas should be under $1 if Government would get their dick beaters out of it.
Here's something to ponder, oil is not a fossil fuel, it is not made from dinosaurs, it is a natural creation of the Earth, it has been going on since the beginning, and will continue to go on. Pump an oil deposit dry, cap it off, come back in 20 years...lo and behold...it's full again. It is called "abiogenic" and they don't what you to know about that.

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

Yup, but they justcall it "ethanol" lol that could mean it's corn, poor grade wheat, or whatever grain they could get their mitts on to blend it down, the crap gas is $1.04/L

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

In Idaho Falls the price is $2.10 for either kind.

Re: Curious about the price of real gas.
 

About $2.80 here for "mid" grade non-ethanol. Hard to find though.

I get it through a Chevron cardlock outlet...they told me their cost is higher per gallon than the ethanol stuff...
