Regular starts at $3.19 here around Macon. Went down to Florida and up to Virginia and occasionally saw it approaching tree fiddy... for charge cards.

My current ride is tuned for mid grade on up (turbo) and unless I buy groceries at Kroger (more expensive groceries = more Fuel Points) or hit a Sam's Club it's getting really painful.

Quick plug for alternative fuel finder app - E30 is 94 octane and doesn't hurt my gas mileage-to-$ ratio.

This Brandon Administration is The Worst.

On a less dramatic note, I just filled up my Fiero with regular unleaded (87 octane) for $4.35 a gallon, credit card price. Diamond brand gasoline. Whatever that is. I passed up two Arco stations where I would have paid $4.69 a gallon. I was shopping more carefully for gas today, and went a little bit out of my way for it. Shell, Chevron, Valero . . . at least $4.90 or even over $5.00, I think.

Most likely, it is Valero. Valero supplies a lot of stations/convenience stores with their brand of gas but the retail business will often be signed/branded something other than Valero.
A prominent California fuel retailer, Valero also operates gas stations branded as Shamrock, Diamond Shamrock, Ultramar, Beacon, and Total. Valero Energy Corporation owns and manages all retail gas locations.

Also most likely too, that the actual storebrand was Diamond Shamrock, as Diamond Gasoline Stations Inc only operates in the South East USA. Based out of Atmore Al.

That's where I filled up. This photo, when the price per gallon was lower.
