Filled up the scooter this morning - over $20.


memory lane time - back in the '60's I had a 409 ci Chevy Impala, maybe 8 mpg (on a good day) and I bought gas a dollar's worth at a time.

Yep, I remember being able to buy $1 worth of gas and it actually moved the needle on the gas gauge. The only thing I can fill up for $1 today is maybe my chain saw!

 

Just 6 years ago I could fill up a car cheaper than I can fill up the bike today. I remember when people screamed when gas topped the $.50 a gallon mark. And the .9 at the end changed from time to time.

 

I remember paying less than 20 cents a gallon in the 60s. Now it goes up that much in a day.

 

Yep, filled up my Panhead for less than a buck in 69'.

 

I remember when we didn't send US produced fuel overseas
Now they want me to shove an oak limb in my tank, green, green my fanny

 

Hey guys Obamy says we should go electric if we don't like the cost of gas........... Wonder where he is investing, agenda mean anything?

 

I remember my Dad telling me he turned around and left a gas station because there was no way in hell he was a paying a dollar a gallon. Late 70s I think.

 

The old Econoline gets $20/30 every week on a straight 6 & keeps me working without needing more--sorry its not a bike--but I could probably fit a diesel engine in the Birdhouse & get a little better. 300K miles between rebuilds could be nice.

 

Back in '89 when I turned 14 and got a moped, I remember gas being around a dollar a gallon. Filled the bike up this morning and cost $3.93 for 91 octane. A little over $20 to fill up.
