Where can you find the cheapest gas in Baristaville? MSN Autos wants to be your go-to source. Click here to see what the local stations' price per gallon is currently. Or, if you know of cheaper, spill it here.
The Cheapest I've seen is a Gulf station (I think) on Valley up near rt 3. It was 2.09 when I went by on Thursday and it is consistently the lowest.

I've never seen any place cheaper than Costco in Clifton, and you don't have to be a memeber to buy gas (or use the pharmacy which is also always cheaper).

Enrite on Main St. Little Falls. Paid about $2.26 for Super on Thursday.

It bears repeating: cheapest gas is almost always the Gulf on Valley just south of Route 3. Just look for the line of cars.

Cosco in clifton-2.03-no line today---was there anyway so i figured I'd fill it up.

Yes, there's always a line at that Gulf station. Must be cheap.
I discovered myself why anybody would buy high-octane gas, cstarling, about a year ago when we bought a car with a bigger engine than our usual rust buckets. That bigger engine not only costs more and burns more gas, but it requires premium.

cstarling,
Because I drive an automobile with a high-compression engine and it needs the additional octane. Life is too short to be vroom-less. For an extra $6 or $8 bucks a month I think it's worth it.
BTW: we were also at Costco in Clifton today around noon (not for gas) and the lines were about six cars deep.

I only ask because a friend of mine is a professional race car driver and he swears regular is just fine for most cars.
I must have just missed you I was at Shoprite by then--i had made it just in time today it seems as I was leaving in both places the crowds were forming.
It was actually the first time I did the gas thing in Cosco because I refuse to sit idling behind fifteen cars---

Regular is fine for most cars. A lot of people think that by putting a tank of extra in every once in a while it does their engines good. Not true, and it can even do harm in these days of computer-controlled fuel injection and ignition timing. But if you have a high-compression engine, you need to use at least 89 octane and some manufacturers specify 93.
