I have the original 2000 screamin eagle, 95 cubic inch and I get 48-50 mpg.   Haven't done anything to it except put Hooker slipons on her.

Thanks for the post, it kind of verifies my mpg's. I was thinking something was off with the speedo.  Doc

We got about a .15 bump here due to Ike.  Regular unleaded went up to about $3.59

Kinda puzzled..... diesel didn't go up any (yet anyway).  Diesel is as low as $3.69 here.

Watched Fox News earlier today.  They were saying that none of the rigs or refineries were damaged, so prices should drop back down pretty quick (I would think anyway).  Especially since oil dropped below $100 per barrel briefly Friday.

Our Gas prices are really running wild over here at the moment. I filled up my Cage today with a little over 14 Gallons of Gas and it cost me the equivalent of $150.00 - yep you read it right $150.00 for 14 Gallons of Gas.

Now that smarts.

was paying close to 1.50 CD last week per litre

That's $6.30 a US gallon as 4 liters = 1.05 gallon.

Can't blame the middle east for the latest spikes.  Crude has dropped below $100 officially as of today, which should translate to more than an $.80 per gallon drop in price for gasoline from the high point earlier this year.  Now the problem isn't crude oil, but speculation in wholesale gasoline prices.  Nowdays they don't wait for something to actually happen before jacking up prices, they look into their crystal ball and see a possibility of something disrupting supply so they increase prices "just in case".  If supply isn't disrupted, I'm sure we will all get a rebate from the speculators, right? ???

Refinery locations & shut downs are the "reason" given for this one.  However when MN or SD or some other state in the midwest (hell any state anywhere) wants to build a refinery, the tree huggers kill the deal & the oil companies chuckle loudly.  Sometimes I wonder if the oil companies fund the tree huggers protests?

Well, I think this still qualifies as a good topic related to our beloved hobby and passion of riding.  Regular gas around here is starting to hit $2.99 .  With OPEC calling for measures to curb the drop in the barrel price I'd like to follow this pricing of gas for awhile.

How is it where you live and ride?
