rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Post Millennial reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At 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.<\/p>\n<p>The displays were limited to single digits as recently as March, but the surging price of gas has led to the change.<\/p>\n<p>A 76 spokesperson told the Post Millennial that the change did not necessarily mean the company was predicting gas prices would reach $10 a gallon.<\/p>\n<p>The station in Auburn also sells race fuel, which is more expensive than the fuel that is used by ordinary citizens.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a
