    I simply mentioned diesel vehicles, I did not pack a tantrum as you are suggesting. Don't you have anything better to do, like a job or something like that, or do you get all your pleasure from twisting whatever I say just so it suits you? I'm only making an observation here.

    $40 odd for the bike

    $90 odd for the Hybrid

    $145 for the Falcon

    And not even a bite to eat..... Already looking at a second job, although selling my body wouldn't get much.

    Sadly RUC ruins any real advantage.

    Certainly tight financial times for the average wager and average kiwi familes.

    Its so good being below average.

    Used to run my Honda 50 on a half crown of petrol for a fortnight school commute and a weekend of running around.

    Gees - I must be far too fresh. The first time I was on the road and had to fill up I clearly remember it was $1.39.4 / litre for 91. I only remeber this as my ex partner turned up to pick me up from the airport, in my first ever car that had been delivered to our house whilst I was away, and the fuel light was on. Cheers ears - What a catch.

    ...and I remember being shocked when 91 went over 91 cents a litre...thought that was just way wrong, 91 should be 91 cents and 96 should be 96 cents, me, I'm simple! why can't pricing be simple too!

    No, that fill was the KTM, 26L, I was worried that after 430km, the reserve light should have come on, so filled just in case. Was on the verge of reserve, still had another 4L.

    Prices are funky.
    Glen eden for 95 is 2.04 or something, and 98 in the nth shore is just bang on $2./L

    Also, 13.5L in the GSF250 nets me just shy of 190k's.
    14km/L, about the same as a ZX14 I've heard.

    Sad, sad shit.
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    I've had a couple of fills over $40 lately and can remember complaining when it only took $20 to fill...

    On the plus side I got 388km from a tank on the Connie the other day - I wish I could say that the VTR could get 288...(only 3L difference in tank size).
