Mike G in SC Posted March 8, 2012 Share #26 Posted March 8, 2012 Here in Oz I put standard unleaded in both my tin tops, and premium unleaded in my RSV. Currently paying $1.38.litre for the standard and $1.42 for the premium. That's with the 4c/litre discount (loyalty-type thing). I remember when I left school in 1969 and moved from the bush to the big smoke, petrol was 39c a gallon and a packet of Marlboro was 36c. My oh my. How times have changed. Mind you I was only earning $1,098 a year way back then. When I bought my RSV, the previous owner was running premium or mid grade. And when I put regular (87) it was not great. I had my mix screws set by the dealer (setting o2) and since then, regular is all I use. (My RSTD has always been fine on regular, but they also set it too.). The bikes are set too lean from the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyderhead Posted March 8, 2012 Share #27 Posted March 8, 2012 $3.65 for RUG here; 10% higher for diesel (that is what really bugs me as there is no reason for it). Maybe when it reaches $5 or $6 it will drive some of the monstrous SUVs off of the road. Life would definitely be better without a hulking Super Flatulence SS tailgating me.

Drkngas Posted March 8, 2012 Share #28 Posted March 8, 2012 Thanks... a good reminder to me to start buying gas at Super-Store as they give discounts on gas based on dollor value of food purchased. With my 70 cent discount last week I paid $2.75/gal at the Randalls grocery store by my house. I was filling up my wifes F150. I think I will start carrying a 5 gallon gas can when I cash in that credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keemez Posted March 8, 2012 Share #30 Posted March 8, 2012 I hate days like this... and the dang thing wasn't even empty either. Not only that but I had to do a secondary transaction to fill it the rest of the way. Pump auto shutoff on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denisadam Posted March 9, 2012 Share #32 Posted March 9, 2012 Equivalent to 5.20 $ per us gallon here in Quebec. And should be higher this summer. But what the heck, when you like to ride... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drkngas Posted March 9, 2012 Share #33 Posted March 9, 2012 You should ask what the max gallon or dollar amount purchase is, then bring more 5 gallon cans. I would but I work for a company that provides all management with vehicles and also pays all gas including personal. We try not to use the wifes vehicle too often and she only works about 3 miles from the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
