Default Gas time again..

Now that gas is upwards around 2.30 for regular, time to revisit.

What octane are you using/what does your bike require?
How much is it costing per tank?
How many miles are you averaging per tank?

My SUV is KILLING me.

$9 to fill up the tank with 93 octane, bike requires at least 87. I can go about 200 miles on a full tank. $20 to fill up the civic with 87 octane, I can go about 500 miles on one tank. My advice to you is to get a civic

umm where are you getting premium for 2.19 a gallon? 2.19 is what the 87 is going for right now.
