I don't take notes on this subject ..... in my area ( mid-Vt. ) the price difference is .80 +/- ., so if I buy say 4 gals. , that's $3.20, just about every time I buy gas, and this is usually 3 - 4 times per week during riding season .... that's about $11.20 per week ... and $45.00 per month .... and the season here is 7 mos. +/- ...= $313.60 ...... this will buy me 3 season ski passes, or some new equipment. I hope this puts it in perspective. ...... Mike

Mike, you ride a lot more than I do. So yes, that's 3 ski passes or a sway bar's worth. Perspective is everything.
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

Annnnnnnnnnd it's not ( harmful ) ..... 56,000 + miles on my 1330 and I accept that my performance is maybe 99.9 % of what it could be. ..... Mike
