    I wonder if I should try and invent a motorcycle engine that runs on dog poop. I would have to be the one riding cause I wouldn't want to be the one behind me.,,,,,Hey,,,, I've got a never ending supply with camera parts mixed in. I'll just feed him some high octane beans and salsa

        I saw $2.43 a gallon for premium today near the airport. Almost wishing I could reverse the big bore now.

          It is up to $2.55 for regular in Santa Cruz area, and that is at the "Cheap" station!! full service is about $3.25. That's a guess on the full service price, as I don't let ANYBODY put gas in my bike, not even in Oregon!!

            I get in trouble every time I go to Oregon to see my bro and sis. I don't let anybody put fuel in anything I own. Especially my bike. I'm afraid that when, not if, they dump fuel down the top of my tank, I would come unglued. I now call my siblings and they meet me in Caldwell Id.
            As far as gas prices. YEEE HAAA,, We here in the Corn fields of the planes of S.D. are paying close to the prices of the greedy states. Cheap stuff is now at the all time high of $2.40, the spendy stuff that I use in MIYAMI is up to $2.55 as of 4/8. Mabee if the prices keep going up, I may be able to sell my Toyota for a hefty profit. It may even drive the values of our bikes up.

              Every place I buy gas (here in Oregon) the attendat hands me the nozzle and lets me fill my own tank. Right now the cheap stations are $2.39 for regular and it gets worse fast...

                Fuel prices

                Petrol attendants and low fuel prices I can just about remember as a kid.

                95 octane fuel stands at over $7 a gallon, depending where you buy it in the UK. That's over 80% fuel tax!!

                You guys in the States really are very privilaged to be paying peanuts for it.
                If you can't afford it....finance it!!

                  Perhaps but we're getting reamed on other taxes. The sad part is that gas prices here would drop in half if we had a few new refineries but we can't build them because of wacko environmental laws…

                  We also have more domestic oil but can't get it for the same reasons.

                          On 4-7 the prices here in southwest Michigan hit $2.43. Today (4-12) it is all the way down to $2.22. Woohoo, come on clutch cable, I need my cheap transportation on the road!
