lets compare apples to apples though. you're showing regular fuel prices, and quoting regular fuel. how much is premium? MOST stations around here charge $.40 - .50 more per gallon, but there is one station that charges almost $1.20 per gallon more. i'm not sure how they stay in business....

From the article:

"Thursday was the day that stations in most of the country could start using the cheaper winter blend of gasoline rather than the summer blend, which is formulated to combat smog."

Who knew there were seasonal blends of gasoline? Lol And more importantly what are the differences?

Winter blend gasoline evaporates better at lower temperatures. I never knew it until I moved to cold country. LOL!

Here in Tennessee too. We are under a state of emergency.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam issued a state of emergency through an Executive Order that waives hours of service requirements for petroleum truck drivers, so that the state does not see any fuel supply disruptions.

Been this way for 25 years. The difference? Reid vapor pressure. (That, and the Btu value...)
