Mike G in SC Posted March 8, 2012 #26 Posted March 8, 2012 Here in Oz I put standard unleaded in both my tin tops, and premium unleaded in my RSV. Currently paying $1.38.litre for the standard and $1.42 for the premium. That's with the 4c/litre discount (loyalty-type thing). I remember when I left school in 1969 and moved from the bush to the big smoke, petrol was 39c a gallon and a packet of Marlboro was 36c. My oh my. How times have changed. Mind you I was only earning $1,098 a year way back then. When I bought my RSV, the previous owner was running premium or mid grade. And when I put regular (87) it was not great. I had my mix screws set by the dealer (setting o2) and since then, regular is all I use. (My RSTD has always been fine on regular, but they also set it too.). The bikes are set too lean from the factory.
spyderhead Posted March 8, 2012 #27 Posted March 8, 2012 $3.65 for RUG here; 10% higher for diesel (that is what really bugs me as there is no reason for it). Maybe when it reaches $5 or $6 it will drive some of the monstrous SUVs off of the road. Life would definitely be better without a hulking Super Flatulence SS tailgating me.
Drkngas Posted March 8, 2012 #28 Posted March 8, 2012 Thanks... a good reminder to me to start buying gas at Super-Store as they give discounts on gas based on dollor value of food purchased. With my 70 cent discount last week I paid $2.75/gal at the Randalls grocery store by my house. I was filling up my wifes F150. I think I will start carrying a 5 gallon gas can when I cash in that credit.

Keemez Posted March 8, 2012 #30 Posted March 8, 2012 I hate days like this... and the dang thing wasn't even empty either. Not only that but I had to do a secondary transaction to fill it the rest of the way. Pump auto shutoff on me.
mraf Posted March 9, 2012 #31 Posted March 9, 2012 $3.69 today in PA. 13.5 gal = $50.00. AGGGGHHHH! Don't ya just love the free market economy. Greed just pure greed.
denisadam Posted March 9, 2012 #32 Posted March 9, 2012 Equivalent to 5.20 $ per us gallon here in Quebec. And should be higher this summer. But what the heck, when you like to ride...
Drkngas Posted March 9, 2012 #33 Posted March 9, 2012 You should ask what the max gallon or dollar amount purchase is, then bring more 5 gallon cans. I would but I work for a company that provides all management with vehicles and also pays all gas including personal. We try not to use the wifes vehicle too often and she only works about 3 miles from the house.
Pegasus1300 Posted March 9, 2012 #34 Posted March 9, 2012 $3.39/gal ethanol regular in Lehi Ut. today at Tesoro.
