I just paid $2.69 for 93 octane at Costco. It’s “recommended” for my car, but I usually get 89.

My wife noticed 1.50AUD per liter for 95 octane (what her car wants). Looks like that’s about 3.26USD per gallon.  
Note that, right now, the Aussie dollar is in the toilet compared to the US dollar (1AUD = .57 USD!).
