Skyrocketing Petrol Prices

i aint sure about you guys / gals in other countries ? , but here in Australia petrol prices are going through the roof :mad: i almost have to take out a bank loan , to fill up my car & feel the pain @ filling up my FZ1N :eek: . we were paying approx $1.72+ per litre last week , fuel has gone down to approx 1.50+ per litre this week . whats going on :confused: , ppl all over the world must be fed up with getting held up @ the petrol bowser weekly its "highway robbery" .. :mad:
 
They suck here in the US too. Not only that but the US dollar has taken a nosedive over the past few years. I was just in Australia in March and when we planned the trip a few years prior, the dollar was much stronger so our money didn't go as far as we had planned :mad:

The good news is, higher gas prices = more motorcycles on the road ;)
 
What kind of gas do you use

Hi,
I live here in the states and was wondering what kind of gas do you use in your fz1's. I just purchased an 08' fz1 in july and the dealership said use medium grade or premium. the manuel says at least 87 octane which is regular. I have been useing premium 92 octane i think and have 600 miles on it. Just wondering what everyone else uses and why. Thanks

I always used regular in my FZ1 and I currently do in my FJR. Unless you are getting engine knock, you are wasting $ buying higher octane grades.

Yeah but you guys across the pond typically don't drive as much as we do here in the states for the most part. How many miles a year does the avg person put on their vehicle?

I had a guy from Ireland I met on a dive trip who thought he was gonna fly to Boston and drive to California. LOL. I had to explain to him the actual scope of such a trip.
 
granted if you wanted to wage war on the us just cut off the fuel supply and it would grind to a halt

as an average we drive 15k a year and i'm fully aware of the scope of travelling the us

if i had the choice i'd move stateside tomorrow - we to policed by big brother and all that with speed camera's cctv's - see being an island has now become this nations downfall as the powers that be have a captive community who virtully all drive because pulic transport is so appaling and
therefore they can reap the revenue from the poor vehical driver

anyway rant off sorry
