Shortage of Premium fuel?

JuniorDee · 10-01-2008, 12:14 PM

On Sunday I went to three gas stations and they were out of premium fuel. Anyone else have this happen in the area?

ase2dais · 10-01-2008, 01:32 PM

yesterday I fill up my DD here at Fairfax (R29 & R50)noticed the premium pump was plastic wrapped, I went ahead a just use ultra. Did NOT check the other stations nearby though, I didnt want to waste gas looking for premium.

plenty of premium in my area, but then again i think most people in my area use regular so theres plenty of premium to go around

The station that I normally fill up on Shell on georgia ave, was out of both premium and super! The next day they had both to my relief!

interesting trend to say the least.
this is scaring me.

JuniorDee · 10-03-2008, 09:35 AM

It looks like it is just shortages here and there. I went back to my main station last night and was able to fill up. Perhaps it was mainly a Shell issue.

ase2dais · 10-03-2008, 02:45 PM

next door Shell station from the last one that had plastic bag last week also had sign that said "Regular only" the other day.

The Sunoco station in Watkins Glen was out last week during the BMW Club Oktoberfest........5 track days can eat up that gas!!!!!

There is 93 in Rockville atm.

ase2dais · 10-13-2008, 10:01 AM

Can you believe it, Gas price at $3.47, and few months ago they say the sky is falling.

ase2dais · 12-02-2008, 04:10 PM

up in nu joysey last wkend and regular gas was 1.61/gal
premium was another .10 cents more

WTF! once my fillup was $64. now $30 bucks!

:

yeah during my last fill up i poured a little on the groud to remember the v8's that didnt make it.

ase2dais · 12-04-2008, 03:46 PM

hmm

I was just wondering What If:

-the gas proces were this good last Spring would
1. M3 sales be better and
2. M3 prices may hold steadier alot longer
3. it not be possible to see a .9% interest coz of all the surpluses
4. not seen any /M driving class included in the purchases

JuniorDee · 12-05-2008, 09:34 AM

was the intention of offering the school to boost sales because of high gas prices or lagging sales?

ase2dais · 12-05-2008, 10:56 AM

its part of the reason.. but also I feel it was to expose their BMW driving schools more. I would think that in this economy, no one has that extra cash to spend on extra-curricular activities like such.. thats why they added the additional incentive

someone posted there nice experience here btw
