Default Re: better gasoline?

Well, to my surprise, it looks like gasoline is not immune from the laws of economics, ie., supply and demand. More people are opting for fuel efficient cars, motorcycles, and scooters for errands and parking their SUV's for use on non-essential chores. Not everyone, but many that I know of.

As far as car show attendance, well, our cars are our recreation. Yesterday, in Alameda, the annual Park Street car show had more than 400 participants,..and not one of them had mileage in double figures. Everyone I talked to was willing to sacrifice a second or third $3/cup Starbucks frappo/crappochino for a gallon or two of high octane. They weren't happy with the cost of gasoline but no one would even think of giving up driving their muscle cars.
