Ya, last time I filled up the bike, it took all of about 5 bucks. (4 1/2 gallon tank).
(last fall when I garaged it for the winter)

Guess it'll be a bit more with supreme hovering around $2.50.
Bike doesn't like the cheap stuff.

It was 2.37 for diesel this morning at the cheap station and 2.75 at the Chevron next to the freeway. Any bets it's 3.00 by Memorial day?

Yeah, the low compression Evo motor can run on the cheap stuff. In fact, my bike runs much better on regular than with premium.

From: on the road again
We left for Michigan on Sat to deliver some equipment and got back last night. Fuel prices in GA -$1.479, in KY -1.499, in TN -1.599, in IL -1.789, in IN -1.799, in MI -1.599. Same on the return. Most states require that station placards indicate the price with taxes included. Indiana has fine print at some stations that's hard to read. What should have been $1.659 ended up being $1.799. That was the most we paid.

Lowest prices were in GA, KY, TN & MI. We saw prices much higher than what we bought. The farther away from the interstate and at Pilot stations, the higher the price.

Today @ Annandale Virginia Hess Station.

Diesel (45 cetane)******$1.749

Regular Unleaded*******$1.849

Mid-Grade Unleaded*****$1.949

Super Unleaded********$1.999

I'm glad Diesel around here is finally cheaper than gasoline again.

I've seen a couple of stations selling Super unleaded for $2.159 a gallon.

Gas vs. Diesel in Canada

Gasoline is 84.3cents/litre and diesel is about 63.9cents/litre here in Canada average. At least that's the going rate here in Windsor.
Convert to gallons-multiply x 3.78/gallon

.843 x 3.78 = 3.18
.639 x 3.78 = 2.41

That's converts to $3.18/gallon gasoline
and $2.41/gallon diesel

Diesel has been very steady staying around 59.8-63.9 but gasoline has bounced from 62-85C/L constantly.
I was in Toronto 3 weeks ago and in one day outside our hotel room between 8:00am and 4:30pm, the price of gas went from
66.8 at 8:00am to 83.3 around noon to 81.9 at 2:30pm and was at 78.1 C/L at 4:30pm.
It was back up to 82.? the next morning.

And we're on the border @ Detroit. It still doesn't pay to jump the creek (Detroit River) and fill up there because by the time you pay the tolls, duty, American exchange on Canadian funds, spend the time fighting the border- you might come slightly ahead if not break even.

$1.61 for road fuel this morning at Fort Knox. Last Thursday red fuel was 1.59. High test Gas is staying right at $2.05.

Starting to think real hard about that barn full of horses.

We all might just switch to that great RED fuel. It's a lot cheaper to buy!

Here in Riggins Idaho it still....

DIESEL - $2.299

GASOLINE - $2.099

For me to fill my truck it will cost me approx $80.00
35 Gals * $2.299 = $80.47 OUCH!
35 Gals * $1.479 = $51.77 That's what I was paying when I got the Truck in 2002!

Check this out... 5 Gallon barrel of engine oil (Phillips 66 15W-40)

5 Gals = $33.85 / 20 Quarts = $1.69 a quart! 2004 Price!
5 Gals = $30.29 / 20 Quarts = $1.51 a quart! 2002 Price!

Where do there figure fuel prices at???
