Default Fuel Costs
Just filled my bike for the first time this year. $27.00 for Premium. They gotta start putting Defib Machines on the Pump Island. I don't 'even want to think about filling my F350. $1.43 per litre. Roughly 4 litres to a US gallon. That's $5.72 a US gallon. Gas was cheaper in 2012 when oil was $130 bux a barrel. Now it's roughly $68. What gives???????

Was there a jar of Vaseline beside the Pump?

I recently rode from San Diego to Yuma,Az. I knew Ca cpgas prices would be more. But gas in Yuma was $1.00 per gallon less.

it's a better option than walking despite the price.
