Reply to comment by PinkPickledOnion in Regular is more expensive than premium. by AtTheLeftThere

They're all unleaded. In America we put corn in our gasoline and have different blends of it (the two on the left) in addition to our three common levels of octane (87, 89/91, 93). Others can be found but none that are leaded with exception for off-road vehicles and airplanes only.

I’m in the US and never have specifically seen any gas marked as unleaded. That’s what makes it odd not the fact that there are different octanes.

Youngster. Even for years after leaded was phased out, I would still see 'unleaded' marked on EVERY pump. And I'm only 40.

It's been labeled unleaded my whole life. Where does it NOT say it? 87 is unleaded, 89 is midgrade, and 93 premium

Honestly, I stopped paying attention a while ago. Now I drive electric so I won't be looking any time soon.

But this is the only one marked and it’s a higher octane than the pump directly to the right.

I’m 99% sure in the USA it’s all unleaded unless specified otherwise for maybe like high quality drag fuel or something.

Ya that’s my point. It’s like putting “gluten free!” on cell phone packaging.

This.

I can buy 100 octane leading racing fuel at a Sunoco about 20 minutes away. It's usually $14.99/gallon.
