    Red face Petrol cost analysis?

    I've just been doing a budget calculations and have calculated that my petrol spending for the month of August alone was $403.58

    This is all bike petrol. Anyone else doing monthly or weekly petrol calculations ?

    Rather not... might be tempted to buy shares in an oil company otherwise
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    You must be doing a serious number of kms to spend $400 on petrol in a month.

    I do about 200 km a week, and spend about $20/week.

    id be about 40 bucks per month for a 12k town commute every day, and the odd tag hunting/sunday ride, 400 buck would equate to about 4000km at my usage rate, thats a shitload of riding, maybe youve got a fuel leak? or someones could be siphoning your gas!!
