Are we done with this thread, or are we going to play with it some more ..... ??

I wish there were 93 within 60 miles of me. :S

OK, since were still beating this thread, I think I have a question that has not been answered yet. Why do gas attendants ask what grade gas I want when I go pre-pay for the gas? They ask me inside but I still have to physically press 87, 91, or 93. Seems kind of redundant. They ask if I want "regular or premium". If I say premium, how do they know which premium (91, 93)

That is not always the case, I used to own a diesel and I did come across a station or two that had the gas sized nozzle on the diesel pump.

HMMMMM that is a very good question! It isn't like they turn the pump on before you push the button and both 91 and 93 could be called "premium". I am going to ask them next time I prepay.

I've never been asked that here in my neck of the woods.

I actually asked the attendant yesterday but got a lack luster answer so i'm asking again here. According to her answer, it is to pre-set the pumps. That doesn't make any sense because they don't pre-set the pumps for people paying with cards so why would they do that for people paying with cash?

Yeah it just depends on where you live. Also some places like New Jersey have attendants who pump the gas for you.

Funny story when I went to visit Oregon for the first time. Pulled into the gas station and a rather large fellow came running my way. Me being paranoid of strangers, I proceeded to roll the window up and was going to leave.

Turns out he was an attendant. Never had the luxury of someone filling up my tank before that.

91 and up is what it recommends. I mean it tells you on the gas door I believe. "Premium only"
