The price of gas here has taken a sudden jump. Today it is $2.99 for regular where I always buy my gas.

Yeah, I was a bit shocked to see Premium at $3.45 at Costco! Heck, Regular was $2.85
I run premium in my mowers. It's less hassle than burning regular with an additive. I can hardly wait until I'm burning up that high dollar gas... oh boy!

I filled up the car right after them bombing started, the next week prices were 50¢ a gallon higher !
BBS, (the Harley) runs on premium, guess I will not be riding too much until this is over.

I filled up my truck Wednesday at $3.39 for regular.
I filled up my wife's Jeep Tuesday. Gas was still at $3.39. I filled up my truck Wednesday with $3.59 gas. Same place... same gas... 
Try PREMIUM! Heck, I paid $4.29 a gallon and that was at Costco! 
I run premium in my mowers. I thought it was a sales tactic years ago when the manufactures started requiring an additive or burning premium in my commercial mowers. I had a Walker mower that fuel problems almost the entire time I owned it. I burned regular through it and when I moved on from that mower, I also moved on to burning premium gas. I've not had a fuel related problem with the three mowers I now use. Before the recent price jump, I filled up my Grasshopper to the tune of over $25.Try PREMIUM!

My Toro will need gas the first of the week and the Grasshopper toward the end of next week. I just can't wait.
Seems to me that ethanol-free gas would be more effective in your small engines than premium with ethanol... even if it's Top Tier gas.
I'm no gas or engine expert. I'm just doing what the boys at the mower dealership told me to do. I'm buying the gas they recommended and from the establishment they recommend. I'm into my 12th year without an engine problem. (knocking on wood) Maybe I used up all my bad mower luck with that Walker. It was always in the shop.
