yeah no shit.... I remember when it use to cost about $8.00-9.00 to fill up the bike with premium...now the shit is $20.00 fucked up economy.

Sometimes when I'm out and I've only gone 50 miles or less, I'll throw in 89 octane when I'm out in the middle of BFE and they raise their prices for 89 the same as premium is in town.
Fuck it ....a little 89 mixed in with premium won't hurt.

Yeah, I know we're pretty frugal. My wife is the original owner of a 73 Super Beetle. It's slow, but it still gets 32mpg around town. Back in the day it cost $3 to fill the (10 gal.) tank. Last week it cost over $37. Paying $4 for gas still isn't as bad as the oil embargo when there were long lines to get gas.

reg went down to 4.45 from 4.60 today....im happy.

its sad that im happy gas is 4.45.

premiums a rip off- 87 to 91 doesnt seem like a big enough change. its all about the additives dif companies use. imo
