I use wildfire to go to grocery. I always get inquire's from men about mileage. On this past Monday I saw one of them that was interested and really asking questions. He was riding a new 50 and had the smiles per gallon expression on his face. ;D

Ya, it isn't this bad yet, but will come to this.. lol

I think it's that bad.

In the summer of 2010 I was paying $2.72 a gallon for regular. Now it's $3.55. Eighty three cents is about a 25% increase. From what I hear it's not going down either. Check some of the online scooter ads. They're sold out of certain models. This price gouging is going on even longer that in 2008 when scooter sales soared. If this doesn't put more people on motorcycles and scooters nothing will.

$317.90 for a honda? does it hold 100 gallons?

I heard Iran may start stopping the flow of oil, in response to our sanctions over the nuke policy.. This could raise the price of oil again.. $4, $5, AND $6 per gallon.

Yop must be gas raised 9 cents a gallon overnight here at the Get Go. Dropped 4 cents a gallon down the road. Hmmm could this be because so many christmas food shoppers at the food store that owns get go sold so much food over the holidays? I bought 1/2 the stuff we needed at that store and acclumated 94 cents a gallon off, but i cashed it in when gas was down at Xmas. 30 gallons for 2.92 per. Yep 10 gallons went in the truck but 20 went into cans for the other things including the scoots.

I remember gas wars in Florida in the mid 60s and at one time I paid 22.9 cents a gal. I had a Renault with an 8 gal. gas tank. Very scooter like at fill up time $1.47 for a fill up. I kept a Fiat 600D in the Bahamas when my family lived there and it had a 6.5 gal. gas tank if I remember right. Of course gas on the islands was always much more.

[mike6736]

That was $3.17.9 per gal and today it was $3.37.9 at the same pump... Really sucks...

We went from $3.27 to $3.39 in one day. Has anyone noticed that the mid grade and prem. grade is 20 or so cents more than reg? I seem to remember when it was 10 cents more a gal. to go up a grade.
