Whinge rant Fuel moan whinge

£22.50 to fill up the Bandit the other day........

Thats now £3 less to fillup the bandit, than it was to fillup my first car from empty to full with a 35 litre tank.........

Last time the car was filled, it was approaching £40. A few years ago.

Bugger is, went to Europe last weekend, and its not much better over there either. Seems like my frenchy trip next weeks gonna cost more in fuel than anything else.

Can't do anything, we never can. So im whinging. Rant whinge moan f-ing asses :rant:

Oh, it was costing me about £17-£18 to fill up when i bought it in march 2007.........

So thats nearly £5 raise in costs in filling up the bike. It was 10p per mile just on fuel, even more than that now. On a bike, 10p per mile!!!!!!!!!

Not sure this is going to make you feel any better, but when I started at my current job in October 2006, a full tank of Diesel cost me about £52 (60 litres at £0.899 per litre), the last few weeks before I moved closed to work (i.e. a fortnight ago) it was costing me £72 to fill up the same car.

£20 EXTRA, PER WEEK to get to & from my place of work. It was a Diesel Mondeo btw, hardly a guzzling sports car.

It's utterly disgusting and nothing short of it.

The problem is, that unlike Diesel (Cooking Oil/Heating Oil/Red Diesel etc) there is no alternative to Petrol to run the bikes on - dodgy or otherwise, although I have, in all seriousness looked into one of those Royal Enfield Bullets - the Diesel engined ones. Anyone ever seen a motorcycle pulled over to have the tank dipped for Red Diesel...................?

Imagine how bad it will get when fuel really does start to run out. How many years of Petrol production do we have left? More importantly how many years do we have left of being able to afford to buy petrol before it becomes regulated? :plod:

Enjoy your trips now before global pricing becomes too high for the average folks... :smt120

Even red diesel is 85p/litre now!

Blimey, that's a lot. My bikes still only costs £17 to fill up from fumes (about 150 miles). Was out in Turkey last week and their prices are the same as ours.

You're being robbed! I can get it for 80p/litre :smt045

When i had the Sv, it cost me £12 to fill up from empty, i'd get about 130-150 miles. When i stopped using it (still got it, gotta pull finger out and sell her), it was about £15. Then £17-£18 on the new bike, now up to over £22........

And im only getting about 180-200 miles for that pleasure.

Im starting to wonder how people survive on trains, in big fuel guzzling cars. We've got a 240bhp 2.0 turbo car, and if it wasn't subsidised in a huge way, theres no-way we could run it. £50+ and 300 miles max per tank, x2 new tyres at £370, servicing yadder blah.

When will it all stop :( Where can i go so as not to be fleeced so much anymore.
