There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

My neighborhood (3 stations in a five mile radius), seem to be holding at $3.69 for regular. One went down to $3.66.

Here in Southern Ontari-owe Canada regular today is $1.84 a liter, Premium up somewhere above $2.00.... so roughly $6.00 or $6.75 US a US gallon. If you are lucky enough to live near a First Nation/ Reserve with a gas station you can knock about 30 to 50 cents a liter off those prices as they don't charge the provincial taxes on gas sold on their territory.

Here in BC (British Columbia) that only holds true if you have a “status” card....all others, including myself, pay ALL of the taxes. BC fuel prices are the highest in North America, or so we’re told.
So it looks like our AUD $2.60+ a litre for Std ULP is still looking pretty exxy, even if it's no longer quite so close to twice the price y'all are paying?!There again, cos I do tend to use the capabilities provided by the ECU Upgrade a lot, I run my Spyder on 95 RON, and it's more expensive again (it works out to about $8.685 USD/US Gall) sooo.... :yikes: ......
For now, in my part of Oz we seem to be holding steady at the sorta prices mentioned above, give or take the usual weekly fluctuations of up to 5-10c or so per litre between the Tues-Friday lower price cycle & the higher prices from Friday Arvo 'til Tuesday Morning - well it is the weekend or filling after the weekend, so I guess they assume that's gotta be for recreation, and of course you'll pay more for gas when it's used for recreation!
So we generally try to fill on Tuesday arvo here, AFTER the prices drop; then again BEFORE Friday Lunchtime, when they go back up for the weekend! Then going on a weekend ryde over 200 miles or so isn't quite so painful... :banghead:But if you happen to travel much beyond the coastal fringe of 'settled areas' & head into the Outback, especially the remote Outback not only do you need to check carefully to see if there's gas available along your route, you should also expect to pay AUD $3.00 or more for Std ULP (IF you can get it! And when you can get it, it's rarely the Std 91RON most outlets sell in the cities, it's usually low octane 87RON 'Opal' fuel to discourage petrol sniffing.
) and it usually costs even more for diesel! :shocked: . Many Outback pumps (not that there really are all that many! 
) especially the older 'analogue' style pumps, no longer bother with 'Cents' on the display - it's all just whole Dollars, rounded up.... I can tell you that putting in over $60 worth of 87 RON Opal gas to fill the Spyder (just under 20 litres) was a bit of a shock! :sour: And yeah, my milage/economy on the 87RON Opal WAS significantly reduced! Barely got 100 miles of careful knock limiting/gas conserving running outta that tank, against my usual 150-200 miles of (somewhat 'spirited' ) ryding from the 95 RON that I usually run. :sour: Still, I'm sorta glad I'm not filling the Long Range tanks on the 4WD's any more - right now, filling one of those vehicles with diesel would take close to $1000! :yikes: Yeah, orright, I could usually expect to travel at least 3500kms or 2200ish miles on the almost 300 litres of diesel they carried, but still, outlaying that sorta cash is a big hit in the hip pocket! (And they're remote too, often no cell-phone service or internet, so cash is still king out there!
) But you gotta pay if you wanta go remote places in this wiiide country we've got here Down Under....

Yes, interesting how fast they go up and how slowly they go back down…
Please just don't take it out on the poor guy at the pump.
It's not his fault.
Did that for five years after hi-school.
One day I just had enough, customer was screaming at me about the price of fuel.
I turned to him and said, sir if you would please give me your name and phone number and the next time I have lunch with the president of Imperial oil I will be sure to tell him how displeased you are.

Gas Up & Down
:dontknow:.... Gas in Indiana has been very active. Two days ago the price was $4.25/gallon of regular. This morning the price is $4.45. Why, I don't have a clue.
