Been taking the bus or walking to the store(s) in the winter (3 blks), car's been in garage.

Weather's been really nice lately, so I drive to Lake County, Illinois to get cigs and/or gasoline to save $$$... on my Yamaha 4.5 US Gals - 45-50 MPG

Speedway Gas, Lake County, Illinois - Unl:4.369 - Plus:4.469 - Prem:4.569

Skuzzy, sounds like yer gettin a very nice toy shop setup :)
Would be fun to play there for a fact :)

Oh yeah.  Going to be nice.

It is about the size of a 2 1/2 car (width) and 2 car deep car (depth) garage with a swing down divider so I can have a paint booth.  The other side will have a 4 post lift and a 12 foot ceiling.  Along the back will be the machine shop tools.  Small bead blaster cabinet (4'x4'x3') being added to the mix.

I would also like to add a powder coat booth.  It will have to be later.

What's regular?
Based on those prices I'd say it's 100 octane but people don't normally call it "regular".

I'm in Japan, that's why it's so expensive. Regular is 87 octane.

Usually about $50 to fill up. I normally just drive around town though and fill up once every couple of weeks.

3.89 here in bellows falls vt.  was watching the prices at a gas station a couple weeks ago, there was a .31 cent change in 2 weeks.  went fron 3.71 to 3.83 and everywhere in between.  seemed like it changed everyday.  the wife drives my truck 03 2500 hd, 8 gpm in town (lol mpg) and maybe 16 on highway over 100 a week.  I drive a 96 jimmy never fill it I only drive it to work which is about 4 miles away, just put 20 or so a week.  I wish it would just go up to 6 and get it over stick it in my touchhole ONCE and get it all over instead of teasing it lol.

You better rethink that. I read a report the other day about the Chevy Volt, and it claimed that the cost per mile to operate was quite a bit higher then the gas models we already have in the marketplace. Buy a Harley instead.

Was leaning more towards Fords new electric or maybe the Nissan Leaf, although I have been looking at quite a few Honda bikes lately, I finally get my license this year since I'm finally employed but ironically its the year gas gets to 5 bucks  :cry

Also i'm not the biggest fan of Chevy, Flame me all you want I can't have an honest opinion i've never EVER ridden in anything except a Ford, Honda and a Dodge my grandparents own
