Missouri octane gas prices are always linked. Regular is always cheapest, plus is always $0.15 more, and premium is always $0.15 on that. Gas got down to $2.79 for regular several months ago.
I remember around the time of the 2008 elections, gas was flowing freely at $1.39/gallon after being $3.99 a year or so before.

E85 is just $2.89 here in Illinois. Cheapest I've seen in a while.

too bad E85 is stuff.
Not as volatile as gasoline and not friendly to non flexfuel systems.

My van has flex fuel but e85 is not worth it unless it is more than 30% cheaper than regular unleaded.

not to mention you make less power when using E85.
You're literally better off getting sons 150 proof moonshine and using it instead.

The only time I ever worry about getting premium petrola is when I fill up my bike. If I'm filling up my car I could care less. I love my car, but it's not a performance car and somewhat a piece of stuff.
