2 year wait for or surgery unless you wanna pay up front. I have a good pension and make pretty good coin consulting. I don't know how young folks on a minimum wage do it.

That right there ^

Why fret about it? There's nothing you can do about it; pay the foreigner running the joint and roll on down the road.

Some "Perceived" International instability leading to over speculation leading to temporary price spikes which will result in higher earnings to the fuel chain and stock holders, adjusted as needed with regard to inventory and futures.
They are always on the look out for these "Opportunities".
In some instances, "Price Controls" are used to curtail sales volumes to protect inventory "Restrictions", then some folks panic and buy more (Hoarding) resulting in even more profits going to the top.
Win - Win, you see.
Just fuel up and ride.

Gas Buddy has ours going from about $2.95-$3.40 per gallon. most seems to be around $3.05. Don't forget, Memorial day is around the corner. they always jack the price a bit during travel holidays.

They are bikes that I spent a ton of money on to enjoy. My biggest concern in selecting fuel is locating non ethanol (pure gas app).

Reno Nevada average per-gallon $3.27 for regular, and seems to go up every few days.
93 Octane is about $0.20 higher, and that is the summer blend of gas. We are at about
4,600 feet above sea level, Lake Tahoe is about 6,000 feet. I'm thinking every other 1/2
tank 89 Octane, or some Octane Booster to help on fill up.

I paid $3.14 for 93 no ethanol this morning in Beebe, AR. What's crazy is if I go to Searcy which is about 20 miles up the road I can get the same gas, same jobber that owns the same stations for .06-.08 cents cheaper. Beebe is closer to the terminal than Searcy is.
