Diesel is now $1.59, Petrol is unchanged @ $2.159 in most places, although there does seem to be some price varience depending on where you go.

It not the riding , it's how far you can get on whats left of your discresionary income, with the fuel companies continuing to push the price of petrol & diesel up while everyone else is struggling with the effects of a recession(depression). The rising fuel prices will push the prices of everything else up, the only exception is wages.

Don't forget to factor in the "multiple hits" for ACC in all these costs!
