Here in Tacoma, I'd say we're ahead of your prices already, and that is 
avoiding looking at Seattle prices...
Thanks to Washington State deciding to line pockets off of the fuel tax 
more than normal, lately, we're seeing $4.50 for premium at the off name 
suppliers, and ~$4.60 at the tier one stations.

I'd prefer to only feed my car from Chevron or Shell, but at their 
prices, I don't think so...  High volume other chains for me, just to 
hopefully avoid getting a tank of water or sludge from stuff sitting 
forever, but not pay the surcharge for being from the big named 
station.  I add a bottle of Techron every third tank or so to hopefully 
cut down on the grime, but even that I buy in bulk at the Costco 
warehouse store, definitely NOT at the chevron prices.
