Enjoy it while it lasts. Inflation adjusted, gas prices ARE roughly the SAME as they were in the late 60s! However, that is for 87 octane. I don't run 93 in any of my drivers, and that stuff is still $.60 to $.90/gal more.
One very interesting item, and other than "because they can" reason (I wonder why the prices have stayed so high), is the fact that at the discreet pump-and-go 110 octane leaded near me - the price on that hasn't dropped at all. It is still $8/gal - but due to a variety of issues I only went through about 20 gallons this year.
Has anyone seen any drop in racing fuel prices this year?
Lake In The Hills Airport has Avgas (100LL) for about $4/gal.
