Chouteau, Oklahoma $3.39/gallon for 87 oct. >thumbsdown<
91 oct $3.59+/gallon

[blue1000rr]

cedar rapids, iowa- 87 oct-3.49, 89 oct ethanol- 3.39, 91 oct-3.59, 93 oct-3.79

best thing i know to do is to keep clean airfilter, plugs/wires replace if you have a lot of miles on them, and drive the speed limit.

[Stu748R]

You dont know how lucky you are,in the UK we are paying over $10 a gallon for our lowest octane gas because over 65% is pure tax.
That is realy hurting everyone over here.

Fuel saving advice: Slow down and keep your car maintained. On a recent trip to Omaha and back (240 miles) I went 69mph rather than my usual 77-78mph and I got 34.8mpg rather than my usual 28mpg.

That's like the umpteenth time you've posted that
You must be quite pleased with yourself.

Third time actually and only the second time here. There wasn't a specific thread on it here before. I'm trying to get the point across. People will go through all sorts of stupid products and "fuel saving" gimmicks but will never do the one thing that is proven to work. SLOW THE HECK DOWN.

[CBR929RE]

best fuel savings is for everyone to keep driving. if there's no accidents or other obstacles on the highway just keep driving. no more stop and go bs. you shouldn't be on your brakes every 3 seconds on the highway. we can all drive around the same speed. it shouldn't matter if there's 5 cars or 500 cars, if you all keep going we all save fuel. not to mention saving a lot of frustration. its as simple as staying steady on the gas pedal.

So none of these things work? I have never tried any so I don't have any hands on experience, I bet plenty of people are making a killing from selling them!

i bought a tornado once. don't believe it did any good. it probably did what it said it should do, but i never saw it at the gas station. best $80 i ever spent (roll eyes)

[Carolina_954]

The tornado can not possibly work on a fuel injected vehicle. the vortex it advertises will cease to exist when the valves are closed. since the fuel is mixed with the air in the intake just prior to the valves, and the vortex is not really there at the time, there is no real advantage for a fuel injected engine. It MAY help in the mixing of air/fuel in carb and TB inj engines, because the vortex is more toward the air filter than toward the valves. this would cause the swirl to mix the fuel in the air better.

as far as fuel saving tips, Check your tires weekly. As little as 3 lbs of air difference can make a 10% change in fuel economy.

Anderson SC fuel prices: 87 oct= 3.43, 92 oct 3.63

[itsrhuf]

Cleveland/Akron Ohio...avg about 3.599.

My way of saving gas.....I manage a Cleveland airport rental car location. Free company car and all the free gas I can use personal or business. Then...don't worry about putting 4 gallons at a time in the bike. Doesn't hurt all that much.

[HondaForLife954]

91 octane $3.97 glenwood springs colorado in Aspen i think its around 4.30

Oil breaks $120 US - You can bet the price hike will be passed on quickly to the consumer. It would be nice if they could just cap the price and stop the speculation and trading that is driving the price upwards - oil is the new real estate right?

[steingar]

Try driving a car smaller than a resident of the Cretaceous epoch. My wife's '94 Toyota Tercel gets nearly 40 mpg on the freeway. And its the big car. Drive your bike whenever you can, even our sportbikes are more efficient than you average car.

[Bryce Auten]

3.70-3.80 gal fot 87 oct depending on city or country work van gets 12 mpg i go through 40-50$ a day! does any one know where i can get ladder racks for a 929???

[pmlavigne]

I tend to look at my recreational fuel consumption from a different angle. Rather than change my riding habits in order to save fuel, I would rather change some lifestyle habits in order to save money. That savings can then be used to fund my riding. For example- I like to have 2 beers after work, but if I can cut it down to 1 beer, or 2 every other day, then I will save a case of beer a month. Where I come from that's as much as $36.00. That will buy me nearly 2 tanks of fuel at $1.20 per litre. The same could be done by you smokers or fast food junkies out there. These lifestyle changes could mean better health for us, and we don't have to cringe each time we feel like givin' here a good rip.

I'm glad I only had a 5 mile drive to work. not even worth taking the bike really. then I do about 218 miles while I'm working. but that ain't my fuel and ain't my truck. so my foot stays planted to the floor until someone gets in the way or I have to take an exit.

[djer73]

you guys in the states don't know how good you have got it. $3.50 for GALLON, which is roughly £1.75. here in the London. 95 oct (which is standard 98 is more expensive) is between £1.10 and £1.20 per litre. in other words we pay £5.44 or $10.88 per gallon. there nothing GREAT about rip off Britain. now, im going for a ride before i get all depressed.

[djer73]

and it not just petrol over here that is a rip off. 20 cigarettes £5.50 / $11.00 (usd), a pint of beer in a pub £2.50 / $5.00, the average cost to buy a house is £250000 / $500000 the list goes on.........
