It costs me $110 to fill up my cage!
There would be a really cool signature thingy here if I could figure out how to make one.

I drive a Silverado 3500 dually with the 8.1L engine, thats 496 cubic inches to work daily, I guess I average30-40 miles a day total yet I paid last fillup $69 for about 3/4 a tank to top it off. Thats roughly 200 miles a week and I am not complaining, I did stop smoking and I rarely stop to have a beer after work anymore also plus I live in Alaska though our gas is not really that high about $2.83 last time I looked for reg.
For someone to complain that riding a bike is too expensive should seriously reconsider their income status or give up something else.
Gas would have to get way pricey like over $5 a gallon but if it does I have plans to make my own ethanol and run it 25-50% to gas, people say it costs more to make ethanol than gas thats garbage literally, its just big oil screaming cause they know that if America went total ethanol a lot of people will get a lot less richer.
