Well by the end of the month 85 octane will be at $3.00 a gallon; last week it was $2.79 and today it went to $2.89. Premium has bee over $3.00 a gallon for over a month; one reason along with the weather I haven't been in a rush to take it out of storage yet. Two months ago I spent $3.20 a gallon for regular in San Jose filling up the rental car.
