Gas prices are going up

And as the gas prices go up and up, as they always will, so does the popularity of these little bikes that we ride........let it soar!
 
Here in canada, Gas prices went up to $2 a liter in 2000 or so, Result? People started buying hibrids and small cars etc.
And for some magic reason, just after people started seriously looking at hybrids and smaller cars, The gas price droped back down to $1~ a liter again! Just by magic.. Or maybe they wanted everyone to go back to SUV's, And everyone did...
 
Pessimists claim that oil that is easy to find will be over
By 2020. Optimist. Say that oil that is easy to find
Will be gone 2030.So no mater how you look at it?
Were screwed. I feel sorry for the young people.
Were leaving them a real mess.
 
I will be riding my MB more as prices go up. Today, I paid $2.99 at the pump for mid grade. My heated cage does not get the gas mileage the MB does. And a jack and glove do a nice job of keeping me warm.
The higher the prices climb,,,, the more frequently, and further I will ride. No joke, it's coming.
 
Gas prices here are $3.07 for regular, if gas prices get so high I can't afford it for my MB I'm gonna get me a walker and a set of roller blades and you better get out of my way!

2 $ a liter where show me a link !
 
Glad I drive the 'ol Aspire- 1.3 liter 5 speed, gets 42+ mpg at 60 mph. Still have the ol Festiva too, but may have to abandon her. 274,000 + miles w/o a rebuild.

Some others may find what I've known for awhile- nothing wrong with a lot of small cars- mine have been really dependable- I even hauled a spinet piano once in the back of the Festiva. The little 1.3 liter is eating a lot less waiting two or three times through a stoplight.
 
I think the vehicles prices will reduce but the common think we use in daily life will have great effect of fuel price hike since the transport facilities will increase there price!!!!.xx.

I agree 100%.

Celebrating higher oil prices is like celebrating free ice on the deck of the Titanic.

Enjoy riding your motor bike, because the rest of your life may spiral down to 3rd world level. Higher food costs, higher utility bills, hyper inflation. Those parts you get by post may cost more for shipping than buying.

Do what you can, get well educated, and get vocal with your elected politicians.

That NEVER happened; I was there. There were long gas lines. At one point, you could only fill on alternate days, depending on your license plate. Gas stations sometimes limited the amount of fuel you could buy at one fill up.

You're right. Folks never ran out and bought bicycles or motor scooters. They just lived with it.
 
I guess I'll weigh in on this topic.

When I first heard who it was that said gas was going to go up, I thought to my self, "self, this guy just said that so that folks will scream and holler 'bout it for a lil bit and then the gas companies will raise the prices, even though there really is no need to raise them besides profit."

Those big oil companies have been posting huge profits. If profits are so good why would there be any need for prices to rise further?

In my opinion greed has gotten way out of hand. And I believe it will only get worse.
 
Man last night driving by the station near my house it was $2.85. This morning it was $2.95 10cents overnight, just absolutley ridiculous :(
