Petrol price - who cares?

[homer]

Na
i doubt it

BS
youll look at all the bikes and the economy , of which will be cheaper than a car and the bikes sold .

It could be as simple as it is with my car
Bp has 98 octane the others don't, also Bp has proven better fule than the others. I drive a Legacy GTB when i am not on the bike and i would never fill my car up with anything but Bp.
Just a thought.

Hence my comment on people complaining about fuel prices. Pay up or shut up and if not look at fuel efficiency. Sorry for being blunt.

Na your quite fine with being blunt
i see it the same way
but when you compare bikes your say talking a i dont know , 16 lts per 100 km to maybe 19 lts per 100 km

not like a car where a small car can use more than a large car

Many years ago I was traveling through the US on a holiday with my parents.

One day we were driving from California to Nevada. As we came up to the border there was a gas station with a big sign that read: "This is your last chance to purchase gas at 89c per gallon".

So my father pulled into the forecourt and filled up the rental car.

We resumed our journey and passed over the border into Nevada. Within a few hundred metres another petrol station came into view ... it was selling petrol for 69c per gallon

Truth in advertising!

As a side note to this, petrol here in the uk has past £5 a gallon that about$12.60.

Ooooh!!

At least it's only $9:20 or so a gallon here.

NZD$2.90/ litre in germany, what we got to complain about ?

Because every time the price of petrol rises so does the cost of living, take food for example, 28% more expensive than it was at this time last year of which a significant portion can be attributed to rising petrol prices as virtually everything you can buy in a shop is bought to that shop in a vehicle.

its getting to the point where its annoying me. given the fact i pump the shit, ive had enough of putting nearly 2 hours wages back in the bosses pocket. so... im going to go to gull. their 95 is the same price as our 91! sure, its trickier to get in and out of the forecourt, but its worth it.

ive even started recommending local riders try going to gull if the price is bothering them. and im doing this, while at work, in uniform.

Mobil has synergy 8000, my personal feeling is that its better that 98

Possibly though I am not discounting the fact that bikers tend to use the throttle more than the average car driver (opinion not stating a fact, could be wrong)

BP is nearly always the 1st to put their prices up. I boycott them if at all possible. Last weekend they had 91 at $1.88, the mobile accross the road was $1.79 and still people were filling up at BP. The fact that its either 95 or 98 octane but never both also annoys me
