Gas stations in Washington state have adjusted their pumps to display double-digit gas prices, according to a report. Race fuel costs more due to the high-octane, premium fuel that is required to enable the engine to have a higher compression ratio, giving it a more energetic explosion and improving the performance of turbocharger and supercharger engines. The station in Auburn also sells race fuel, which is more expensive than the fuel that is used by ordinary citizens. The displays were limited to single digits as recently as March, but the surging price of gas has led to the change.Ī 76 spokesperson told the Post Millennial that the change did not necessarily mean the company was predicting gas prices would reach $10 a gallon. The move comes as several gas stations in the Evergreen State ran out of fuel, the Post Millennial reported.Īt the 76 gas station in Auburn, about 30 miles south of Seattle, gas pumps were reprogrammed so the display could indicate a price of at least $10 a gallon. Gas stations in Washington state are resetting their price boards to accommodate double digits in preparation for fuel prices potentially reaching $10 a gallon, according to a report.
