Further, it seems like many gas stations reduce the price difference between the grades as overall fuel prices increase. When regular gas is $2.50 per gallon (remember when), premium was often $0.90 (or more) higher per gallon. When gas is $4.00 per gallon, premium seems like it's only $0.30 or $0.40 of a surcharge.29% higher fuel cost to get 3.5% better mpg & range + 10% better acceleration isn't a value proposition for me either.
But then I remember how much I've spent to gain power on various engines in the past and it seems like a bargain.
Interestingly enough, as fuel prices increase, the percent extra you pay for Super is reduced making the value better. I mean if gas was, God forbid, $10/ gallon, another .90 cents is only a 9% penalty getting close to a wash on the improved economy.
And then you get weirdness like this: Strange fuel pricing at Sheetz | F150gen14.com -- 2021+ Ford F-150, Lightning EV, Raptor Forum (14th Gen) | Owners, News, Discussions In those rare situations, it's hard to justify doing anything other than premium.
