Default Air fee?

WTH is the charge for "CA Air"? This was on a '25 RG. I know CA has awesome weather and scenery, but the air is average. Is this for synthetic air?

That's Pacific air. Atlantic air is still free here in Florida, for the time being. Though I hear they might start charging for humidity.

They have always been putting on airs.
Over here in the midwest, we got cow farts in our air.

That's actually Canadian air. Putting it in your tires adds 8 horsepower to your bike.

From all us Canadians, your welcome.

But with the HP Exchange rate, it's really only about 6 HP.......

You're not getting synthetic air for less than $8. It's the cheap stuff.

That's amusing.
The battery fee went up to two dollars back in 2022.
It's specifically illegal to charge for air in California.
I'd be curious about what they filled up with Elec. I wonder if that's a battery topping off charge. Seems plausible, considering the rest of those charges.
