    You, sir, have the accumen of a woman!! (and a stupid one at that!)

    They have been known to drive for days with the needle of the fuel guage sitting hard on the big 'E' and/or the big-red-eye-of-doom glaring at them for days - and then act all surprised when the car fails to proceed due to lack of said fuel.


    Sheesh! In the unlikley event I had a bike with a warning light for low fuel level that was illuminated I would administer copious quantities of fuel to it forthwith to extinguish said light!!

    im a female. i ride. my bike doesnt have a fuel gauge. yet, not once have i even come close to having push her! before the last price hike, i could get 262k to a tank, and have another 20k in reserve. not the price have gone, up adjusted my "k limit" to about 250k, just to sure. i also carry a $10 voucher for petrol in case i overspend.

    4. The motorway was packed and my supercorsa pro's made it clear they didn't like wet cats eyes.
    5. I ran out of fucking gas just before tip top corner.
    6. I had to push the bike in the rain to the nearest gasser
    7. I got on my way again as water started to seep in to my shithouse Sidis.
    8. The rain then made it's way in to my gloves.
    9. The rain started to trickle onto my balls.
    Thats almost as funny as ya little brother's post last night.

    Oh, an next time ya come into my work, the least you could do is say "hello" ya bloody homo or were ya still bit puffed from pushing ya bike

    Whats the price of gas got to do with how far you can go on a tank.

    Finn, I think she proved your point I'm afraid to say.

    that the person on the back should have a rough idea of how far he can get, especially if hes lucky and has a fuel gauge instead of having to reset the trip meter every top up, lol. the price went up, therefore the amount of k's i can get has likely gone down. i just havent worked out how much yet.

    quartida.....lol. bugger, hope it wasnt too far from a gassy!

    You say this like it's a bad thing. Come on, we've all enjoyed the water on balls experience at some time (sorry Ladies, it's a guy moment), it's not to be feared, or stigmatised, but to be celebrated, enjoyed, and photographed when noones watching.

    Surely, irrespective of how much it costs you to fill the tank, that full tank is still going to take you just as far as it did previously.

    Unless.

    Unless you put a $ amount in, which of course now means for $20 you don't get as far.
