You wouldn’t be smiling if you lived over here in England. I’m paying $10.30 a gallon for diesel at the moment and they predict it will be $13 by the end of the year.
Yeo sure is tough and getting tougher. We are paying AUD$1.63 a litre here in Sydney. Thats the equivalent of USD $5.95 a gallon and when your running 113 cubic inches and a 12 litre tank it costs a lot of $$$ to not go very far!
back in 1975 when gas jumped so high here, 65 cents gal I think, I remember an old man saying “no matter how high gas gets, you can still buy two dollars worth!” I was thrilled back then to save gas riding my bike. Little did I know I would STILL be thrilled this many years later! peace
It cost me $170 to fill my tank in Kansas on the way home from the east coast. The headwind caused me to get about 8.5 miles to the gallon. Spent over $3000 on gas on this last trip to vend at 3 shows. Attendance is way down, and spending down even more. OUCH!
You got me 1st smile of the day.

Great shot!!!
Around here (SF Bay Area) we’re now paying $4……
But the spot market (yesterday?) hit something like $135, a barrel.
Hang onto your hats!

So there’s the business case for a better MC market.
