Leaving on a 5k trip this Friday.&nbsp\\; Not going to change the length or duration, just the souvenir and tee shirt money.&nbsp\\; I hope my kids don't mind me spending their college money.

My Chevron bill is currently 960 or so if I subtract the 140 we had on there before we left I have $820 on just the Chevron&nbsp\\;card I figure we stopped 3 or 4 times at non-Chevron stations so I will need to add 150 or so to that. (2 Bikes)

We were gone 14 days...I have at least 1 more fill up to get home. About 3500 - 3600 miles. Rolled into CA price of premium went from $4.41 to &nbsp\\;$4.85 [:@]

The good news was our hotel costs were alot less then I expected...so I saved money somewhere.

My buddy filled his motor home, and then decided to leave it parked and ride his goldwing on vacation.
&nbsp\\;
I got no issues with the high prices......makes for less traffic

I just got back from a trip that took me from Colorado to California and back. No prob. getting high test. This time next week I'll be leaving on a longer duration trip, again starting from Colorado to California, then up the PCH to Seattle, then east until I feel it's time to turn around and head home.

This is still far cheaper than flying or taking the cage.

I had planned to ride to Alaska next summer, but I think I'll just ride to Seattle and call it good.&nbsp\\; Oak Harbor, actually, if anyone is familiar.

I may eat hamburgers instead of steak, but I'm still riding! Cut back somewhere else besides miles.
