I wondered about the additives and such, but the issue is probably moot since the tribe likely cannot get anything but fuel sold throughout the state. I agree that they do not need to impose California state and local taxes and fees. It is also not clear whether they are passing all of the savings on to customers, or setting an attractive enough price to swing people into their facility and perhaps have a small percentage of customers decide to come into the casino/restaurant for an hour or more (in which case, they could have an artificially low price as a loss leader). Just found the substantially reduced price interesting enough to comment on.

For whatever it's worth, I'm in western Wisconsin and filled up wth 87-octane unleaded last Tuesday; pump price was $3.44 per gallon... and I see, according to the GasBuddy app I use, it's already down another nickel (to $3.39) since then.

I also saw an article on the Yahoo news feed that claims gas prices are poised to start falling '... like wet feathers'.

Stay tuned... !

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Most gas stations around here seem to have regular unleaded for $3.69⁹, with a couple of outliers in each direction.

Much to my surprise, given the "oil is going up because of Gaza" . . . . $2.799 here in the past couple of days. Filled up tonight at Sheetz

Here in Northern Delaware today it is mostly about $3.109 but a little search can find small areas where everybody is below three dollars. The lowest I have spotted is 2.799. But the good stuff for your Porche or Bimmer is still above four dollars, even at Costco. I can't imagine what it is in Philly. Yesterday I was in WAWA (major area independent convenience/gas chain) and in front of me was a Mercedes with PA plates filling up.

Driving to and from Lansing MI in the last couple of days I bought regular unleaded for $2.99⁹ in Michigan and saw other places (in northern Indiana) where it was selling for as little as $2.89⁹.
