It's about 20 cents lower than 87 octane here. I think dollar per mile, 93 octane is cheaper for me. Don't have much injector or compression anyway.. Smells good though

Not available here in NW Florida but if it were, I would buy it for the truck even if it were a little more per gallon than 93oct E10.
