Yeah yeah yeah... I understand. But your used to it right? Like those from Europe? We like to cry about it more I guess. I Mean after all... We now have a forced healthcare program because we cried about how awesome Canada's was right!! hahahahahaha


Just yanking your chain man :roflblack::thumbup:

For any of us to get to upset about gas prices right now is kind of silly. We just spent what on our Spyders and how much on accessories for them the past few years? :shemademe_smilie:. Not to mention the Maintenance costs :cus:
 
Raising gas price I just ride the :spyder2: more leave the F-350 parked if I can. The price of gas has make me rethink my traveling plans Can't enjoy all my hobbies as much as I use too (trail riding(horse) fishing (boating ) :yikes:

hmm..let's see..around 7000 [email protected](with passenger and loaded trailer) thats 350 gallons X 4.30 = around $1500.00

If things get much worse gas price wise, this fixed income couple might not be going to Lamont's/Maggie Valley after all.:(

Are fuel prices deterring anyone else from their riding destinations??

We can get regular with our Freddy Meyers discount for about $3.85. Unfortunately, we moved last weekend and now have to pay around 4.05-4.09 (87 octane price)

When I fuelled up on Saturday, I followed behind a RV that just filled up with over 120 gallons in one stop. That was $557 for one refuel! :yikes:

Yes, the higher price of fuel is affecting EVERYTHING. But even with the decreased mileage from hauling a trailer, the money saved from "motelling" covers other extra cost of gasoline. And you just can't put a price on the feeling you get exploring the country on the open road.

Paying 1/3 more for gas won't stop me from ryding. Even at $6 a gallon it is still worth it.
 
Hit $4.20 for regular here today. I hope it isn't $5 by next week. :yikes: Oil company quarterly profits show large increases. Now there's a surprise...NOT! :sour:

2 Spyder family here and we just filled both Spyders yesterday in anticipation of heading to Spyderfest. It took $36 to fill them up and our gas was only $3.69 a gallon. My wife was shocked by that, but then I explained that it was 9.9 gallons we put in. Still didn't make her any happier about it. :dontknow:

Yeah - 22.5 litres cost me $31.25 (at $1.39 /litre) that is $32.75 US
Yikes!!!! no wonder they don't call it a motorcycle LOL
but compared to $90 for the CTS it is still a bargain,
Stll can't figure why Canadian Gas should cost more in Canada than the USofA????:dontknow:

I don't look at the prices when on the Spyder because the tank is so darn small anyway...now, in my minivan, that's a different story.

Just depends upon how many times you fill up the spyder on a trip. If you just go to the store. No big deal, but 1,000 miles, it then becomes a big deal.

Its amazing what this guy gets away with.....When it hit 3.40 with bush it was because he was for big oil....now...we are told to live with it! :cus: him!

I don't think being political on the past is justified. Who has spent more money than all the others put together in two short years and besides stopping drilling???
 
Experts (from both sides of the fence) have said the high gas prices (which is a world-priced commodity) have little at all to do with the current US administration or policies. More drilling here (which was actually approved) would have very very minimal affect on the price we pay for gas.

We're being screwed by big oil - plain and simple - yet they keep getting tax breaks. :gaah:

Next time we invade a country because of OIL -- how about we actually TAKE SOME! :D
 
in belgium for the regular is the price 6,27 $ for 1 gallon

so i'm always happy to be in us for the smaller prices;)

Hey and Star Cruiser too! I like to ryde up around the Gorge at Elora for a change sometimes. Usually more rydes to the North - Tobermory and the Bruce Peninsula. There are a number of us up her in Southern Ontario (Sounds like an Oxy-moron, up here in the south!)
