Default gas prices

Yikes- premium at 4.59 this morning at the cheapest station in town. Almost as much now to fill the bike as it used to cost to fill the car. Where will it end? or will it?

I'm predicting $1 drop in prices within the next 6 months.

I'm curioushow you arrived at this prediction.

I would guess gasoline prices will continue their upward trend for the next 6 months at least. This is just based on recent price history, and the coming summer vacation season. I don't think people are going to change their driving habits anytime soon.

Not Vaseline, as it is a petroleum based product and it's price is surely to escalate as well.

It will be a water-based lubricant such as AstroLube... Or whatever the water-base lubes are called!

I was out in Palm Springs playing the PGA West (stadium) course yesterday, and happened to notice the price nearest the freeway was $4.40 for the cheap stuff! &lt\\;IMG src=&quot\\;https://www.hdforums.com/upfiles/smi...&quot\\;&gt\\;
