2014 Low Rider
#7691
When I filled the bike the other day I think I paid 5.29 for premium. For some reason premium used to only be a 20 cent cost above regular and now its more like .75-.85 cents more than regular. People at work ask me why I don't ride the bike more to save on fuel since I have such a long commute but really the numbers don't work out in my favor. Fuel is more expensive, the MPG isn't that much better than my beater honda civic, and the tires/maintenance costs are way more, mile for mile. Plus I don't want to rack up too many miles on the bike, I drive about 2k miles a month for work.
This for me as well.

I filled up today at AUD 2.30 / litre which is about USD 6.40 / gallon. On the bright side it was a perfect day for a ride. Note the paraglides in the pic.

Back in the 90s and early 2000s I drove down to GA to visit a friend and got gas for 99 cents a gallon.

OK, prior to the oil embargo in 1973 gas was going for about $0.30/gallon. Then came the lines and quotas. It was never the same after that.
Before the embargo, we were driving from the Northeast to Florida. Somewhere around South Carolina we encountered a "gas war" and filled up for $0.199
My Uncle claims to have done the same thing a few years earlier and it was $0.099/gallon

Card reader wasn’t working on the pump today so I went in and asked for $15. Didn’t fill it up. Wife and I rode for 112 miles and was right back to the same “distance to empty” as when I got fuel. Not even cheap to take the bike out anymore!
