One of the reasons that *all* my bikes have baskets on them.

I must admit the reason I started riding stand-up scooters and then got into motorized bikes was because of my last Ford van with a 460ci V-8 that was putting me in the poor house with 75 gallon gas capacity and 9mpg on a great day. I'm dead serious here. Oh I still own a 4-wheeled vehicle and always will, but I ride my bikes everyday and anywhere I feel like. I love to ride!

It stands true today.....gas prices are riduculous and it's no joke!

If my maths right, you guys are paying $1.11 a litre.... it could be worse, we in Australia pay around $1.50 a litre and at its worst was nearing $2 a litre.

us gallon is 128 oz
4 liters 135.2 oz

1 us gallon 87 octane is $3.49 us

$.8725 a liter...or close enough

 

[harry76]

The price Scotto quoted, and the whole point of the thread being expensive fuel, was $4.14 a gallon.

A gallon equals 3.79 litres

$4.14 divided by 3.79 equals around $1.10 a litre

He was talking about premium though, not regular.

Even here in Dallas premiun is as high as $4.39 a gal

It's the price ya pay for living in (near) paradise. The price of gas here in California is a rip-off, and as I recall, the price of petrol in Australia has been rather spendy since the early 80's. Does that sound about right Harry?

And why do they rip us off with the high price of gas?...........because they can!

All grades are over $4.oo a gallon in San Diego......yes I use premium in my race bike.

 

[biknut]

Seems in Florida some stations are getting close to $6 a gal. $5.89 for reg

AMPA (CBS Tampa) — Talk about pain at the pump! Some Florida drivers are spending nearly $6 a gallon to fill up their gas tanks.

According to GasBuddy.com, motorists are shelling out $5.89 for a gallon of regular gas at a Shell station in Lake Buena Vista, topping out at $5.99 a gallon for premium. It doesn’t get better at a Suncoast Energy station in Orlando, where drivers are paying $5.79 for a gallon of regular.

“Prices over in the Disney World area are much higher than any other place in Florida,” Jessica Brady, AAA spokeswoman, told CBS Tampa, adding that people regularly complain about gas prices in that area.

The Sunshine State is opening up its wallet, paying an average of $3.67 a gallon of unleaded gas, 12 cents more than the national average. And it’s only expected to go up.
