Shell Today'd fillup 24.89 91 shell gold That insane.

You REALLY need to travel internationally. That amount of money MIGHT get you three gallons in some places. If you think gas is expensive now, your head is going to explode in five years.

I put $25.00 of 87 octane in my R100GSPD yesterday... of course, I was on reserve, and putting a lot of fuel in that 9 gallon tank.

One thing is for sure; the cost of fuel keeps me motivated to have the bike in perfect tune; not running rich or anything.

Just don't hole a piston trying to keep it as lean as possible!

My 7 mile a day commute is killing me. Ok not really.
But I bought this anyway. I've always wanted to be close enough to work to ride.
I calculate that it should pay for itself in 2 years

oh I don't know... us backwoods guys get bored and build stuff. Here's a link to an electric VW bus I built.

That's slick work. I like it.

Let's see... if my memory is correct, Matthew Parkhouse reported in the ON how he'd built an electric vehicle for getting around.

Since they're giving it away in Niagara Falls, I'll have to come down there some time.

Holy crap Alex I did miss that sorry well you could come for the Trenton rally

 

[globalrider]

Well you could come for the Trenton rally

Another BMW MOA member sneaked me in at the BMW MOA Trenton Rally years ago. Serves them right...if they sold day passes, I would have gladly paid. Same for the Loonie-tic and Finger Lakes rally.

In the end, the rally scene just isn't my thing.

Now they have done it

Went to Toronto on Friday to post my Paralegal papers at Osgoode Hall.
Found the fuel price for reg 87 was $1.20.9 Lit But here is the killer I use Petro Canada or Shell 91 octane it's selling at $1.34.9 Can. That is the highest I have seen so far and I expect it to go higher, Lets see >134.9*20>=26.98. and that is around the average tank of most bikes 20 liter or 5 gallons capacity of our style. when pre Katrina it was costing @ 13.00 to fill. So I ask in this newer quetion who the F*&(k do thay think we all are? Rockafellas...please post your area's fuel cost and or lit , or gallons

Thanks to all who have posted please keep it up..Michael

$3.39 yesterday on the Eastern Shore of MD & DE.
About $.10 higher on the "mainland".

The $4 gallon gas for summer will be a self predicting prophecy.

 

[BeemerMike]

World crude marker price is now about $116 per barrel. A "little higher" than pre-Katrina (as if that has anything to do with it).

If crude prices keep going up . . . yep, we may see $4.00 gasoline.

Ran out to Big Bend to retrieve my GS Thursday...89 octane was $3.59 in Junction,TX and $3.72 in Alpine....saw it as high as $3.92 in a few I-10 locations

Diesel was $4.29!

Well with the exchange rate being what it is, my 30 liter fill-ups (from empty) will run me $75 this summer.

But once you see the roads, the price per fill-up is never a concern.

Montana

It was $3.44 for regular yesterday in Thompson Falls Montana. Why worry the snow is falling again!

 

[franze]

4$ gallon sounds good

Filled up today in Nyon, CH which is about 20 km from Geneve, with Shell 100 octane at 1.97 swiss francs/liter. Converting that to gallons and US dollars that's $7.35/gallon.

The global currency for oil is the dollar. The dollar is weak right now compared to other major market currencies. The weak dollar means that oil prices are up, it hit over $117 a barrel for crude yesterday according to the news. Oil speculators are probably the biggest motivators in the price climbs as they use oil as a hedge against falling dollar value. Watch the cost of gas go up as the cost of oil rises.

If the dollar regains it's value that it had say 4 years ago the cost of oil and subsequently gas will go down. Don't figure that it will be a short process as the rest of the globes economies also will shimmy a bit in response holding back the rapid change we all want to see.
