As the delta between regular and premium gas prices continues to grow, more and more car owners are forgoing higher-octane fuel for regular 87.
Data shows that daily sales of premium gas were down about 5% by volume compared to the average from February — just before the U.S. and Israel’s war with Iran broke out and rapidly spiked fuel prices across the world.
During the same period, mid-grade sales were down 2% and regular gas sales were up just about 10%. This data apparently matches a broader trend in which drivers have stopped purchasing higher-grade gasoline since the start of the war.
