Gas prices affect your riding?

Geezalou $7.52 a gallon that hurts.

If gas went to $7.52 a gallon here, their would be a revolt lol

Come to think of it this may be a boon to Tesla and Harley Davidson Livewire sales

This assumes that electricity is cheap or cheaper. Isn't true now, won't be true then or soon. I stopped at a motorway gas station a few weeks ago, where a man was charging his e-car and I asked him about the cost. He shrugged, didn't know, and then said "look at the charging station display". We couldn't find it for a while, finally down in a hidden menu we find the price charged to his credit card: ~ 1.650$ per kWh. He looked happy and said, "see, not expensive". I smiled and said good bye.
One liter of car gas or diesel contains about 10 kWh, dig ?
Charging at home will be cheaper, ... a little.

Haven't had the bike out yet this year... but no, the price wouldn't bother me even if it was $15

Heck- one of my cars has a 24 gallon tank..and 12 cylinders. That adds up.

And this car is a ... ?

Theres a 56 y/o woman in my office who's never ridden motorcycle in her life who is seriously and diligently asking me for advice on purchasing a motorcycle because shes terrified ofupcoming gas prices. Yea. People are thinking about it.

Im certainly feeling like a smart guy having just purchased a 125cc bike that gets 95mpg flat out. Gonna be commuting on that some.

The cost of gas is about 30% of the total cost of buying, owning and maintaining a car. The recent increases are about 25% on the gas price. 30% times 25% = 7.5% of total. If this makes you thinking about a m/c, I wonder what you start thinking about when gas prices double ?
