Fuel rant whinge moans hate fuel prices bah

£72 to fill up the passat from empty though just under half with 400 miles done so the return is better.
daren't think what it cost to fill the bike up! Sure I'll find out on Monday!

£20?!


God you go for short rides!!

Last time I filled the Daytona it was about 20 quid and always need to fill up at least twice.

Wow, long rides Rob!

I never really use a full tank on a ride. I tend to go for short really fast rides and then I like to stop somewhere and just chill. Much nicer than going really far out of your way

A rides not a ride unless it's miniumum 200 miles.

I just fitted a 22ltr tank to the hyper which is going to cost near as damn £30 to fill, hopefull getting 200 or more miles to the tank.

Better than the 12ltr tank it did have, although it was nice filling up and rarely putting in more than £10.

My car on the other hand , I've done 9000 miles in 3 months and I'm only in the country every other week lol easily spending £500+ a month on fuel.

A bottle of volvic on the services is around £1.89 and that's just rain which has been cleaned and bottled.

Dont get me started on bottled water, clever marketing to sell people something that is practically free in the home, with no advantages at all.

Supply and demand. Get public transport, cycle, walk and save your money to put petrol in the bike, which is really whats important/fun.

You dont open the throttle enough to use a full tank even on a long ride...

I went from Wigan to Newtown then to Leominster on the A44 and hime on the A49.

I think I paid for a new Rolls Royce for the Sheikh of Arabia judging by how much fuel I used....

I am surprised that the protests haven't come yet. Though, now we're well past the £1/litre barrier, perhaps people care less?

Worst thing is- the cost of EVERYTHING is going up and up and we're not seeing anything back for it.

Certainly not the condition of the roads. They're a joke.

I'll have you know that I was behaving myself on the rideout so I didn't look like a ****... unlike some
