Where do you people live where high-test is only 40-50 cents more per gallon. Around here it’s closer to a $1.

The gas stations I see now a days (which is limited compared) only show the price of regular and diesel if sold there… I never pay attention to the other prices once at the pump…

Both pics are from Feb 2025, Kroger’s is the same way…
