I just payed 3.73 a gallon for ethanol infused 93 octane gas for the WRX. The ethanol free that I got for the S was the same brand of gas but only comes in 91. I remember a long time ago gas would increase in 10 cent increments by the octane rating but those days are long gone. Everything is getting ridiculously expensive. I was reading last night that on Maui they are getting from 500 to 1,000 dollars a day to rent something like a Chevy Tahoe and that is if you can even find one.
The 10 cent increment was always rubbish too. All the cars that require premium for no reason get away with it because there's almost no delta in price despite higher octane gas being a much more rare commodity out of the barrel. If premium had been priced properly we wouldn't have economy cars that need 91 octane.

Gas was routinely more expensive than it is now in 2008 and from 2010-2014, and that's not accounting for inflation.

I was at Home Depot and came across a 5-piece tool kit from Milwaukee. I really wasn't shopping for tools, and I didn't need more tools but this was a cool set so I picked it up. It is the perfect size, and it came with a couple of batteries.
I have an older Ryobi tool kit and the batteries have gone south, the cost of buying new batteries for my Ryobi is almost the cost of a new kit. I always wanted a tool kit from Milwaukee or Makita as my next tool kit. This one comes with a drill, a driver, a Sawzall, a ratchet, and flashlight, and two batteries, plus a nifty tool kit bag. The tools have fuel gauges on them, so you know when the batteries will die out ahead of time. My early Christmas present to myself, lol. I always buy myself a Christmas present as the first present I buy, so this will be it.

The new Milwaukees show the battery life right on the tool, each time you activate the tool they light up like a fuel gauge. My Ryobi's would always die out on me when using them without warning, so this is a nice feature.
