So... how come Verizon never gave me a tablet?
petrol in my area in the U.S. is now around $3.15....We can thank the O'Biden administration for paying more than a $dollar$ more pr gallon.Verizon sounds like a new Covid-19 vaccine brand!
Anyway, they put up an upper limit on gas prices here; $2.351 USD per gallon for the US 91 premium (all converted to US standards from ours). I believe this price is due to lack of taxes here since we only have VAT. Otherwise if we have all the taxes in USA the price could be the same, I guess.

Regular is like $2.2 USD.
Over 2.70 here in DFW in areas I’m in.2.64 A gallon here in the state of Texas
Most everything here can actually use 87, even if it states 93 is needed. Hell my car is 22 years old and I put E15 in it just to see what it would do and besides having obviously lower mileage it was fine. Mind you it’s a /slightly/ higher octane but 5% more ethanol.I'm guessing those are for regular? US cars are mostly made to use regular as I heard. Above that is for cars with exclusive or supporting high octane engines and high pressure imported ones. US V8's that use regular gas always intrigued me while many other import I-V6's "supposedly required" premium.
They claim the prices will fluctuate under that upper limit but I have a feeling this upper limit thing is just a facade for the fixed price they finally decided.
Oh, and I took this junk to the periodic inspection and passed on the first run, thank God
