How many times did you fill 'er up in August?

As current petrol prices hurt the wallet, the number of visits to a servo will do the same.

How many times did you stick the long metal thing in the hole this month?
I commute to the airport 5x/wk - chuck in a track day and couple of weekend blats - I score 13!!!

I would imagine I "filled 'er up" about 20-25 times in August. Maybe a little higher than average but then, it is my birthday month. And she's not complaining.

Uni. Every weekday. Adds up really fast. 13+

Though it's only like $6.50 each time.

If it needs filling I go and do it. Just a blip in an otherwise awesome ride. Yea fuel costs, either pay or walk I reckon. I'm doing my bit for the fuel crisis by getting a bigger bike

I'm looking forward to her response. I'm guessing September might be a "dry" month

What he calls "fill her up", she probably thinks is a 'splash and dash'.

You forgot to add zero poll option.

Been using bike every day this month. Could still have easily not tanked this month and ride for another 1-2 weeks but decided to fill up yesterday as the 3/4 empty level was approaching. Shocked at the price I had to pay. A whole $11.35 so blew this month $10 fuel allowance.

Yes I run my bike on a strict budget
