Good point, but the question is, can we do anything to lower the prices? Even if everybody that drives a diesel pu stopped buying fuel, it would probably only be a drop in the bucket and wouldnt make the least difference.

I can't help myself to try and think of both sides. In 73 I toured Europe on a motorcycle and was, after doing the math, paying $5 a gallon. I'm just as frustrated as all of you about this BS though!

I'm lookin forward to some steady decent weather so I can ride my bike to work and save some $$ on gas. I'm driving my 2000 Ranger with a bad torque converter and it's suckin the gas! Do you still ride ?

Cool ! I'd like to do that with my dog but he's part lab and part blood hound, don't think it would work too well ! He'd probably chew my head off ! LOL!!

its about 1.50 a liter up here in northern BC, not sure what that would be in gallons. its ridiculous when there are hundreds of oil rigs an hour out of town. but all these high fuel prices are easily explained in one word; GREED!

After riding street bikes alot then touring ten countries in Europe in three months I started racing motorcross in the Black Hills of SD. Sturgis was a lot of fun and that was before the big bike rallies. I got what you might call 'burned out' but I still enjoy going for a ride!
