$3.35 a gallon

almost40 · February 26th, 2011, 10:32 AM

Thats the price near my house on 2/26. Whats the price where you live??

Any guess on when it hits $4.00?? I say by mid June its hits $4.00 (June 17th)

Can we start a pool Alex?

bob706 · February 26th, 2011, 10:42 AM

Same here. A week ago it was $3.09.

Live2ride · February 26th, 2011, 10:44 AM

It's around $3.20 here, I'm guessing it will hit $4 by late april, say april 25th. It jumped from $2.98 - $3.19 here in one night. Just makes me happier that I'm getting a bike.

Cuongism · February 26th, 2011, 10:45 AM

It's already over $4 at some places here...

DaBlue1 · February 26th, 2011, 10:47 AM

$3.23 here. I'll say $4.00 before Memorial Day.

dyeforever · February 26th, 2011, 10:55 AM

4.01 in hawaii now.

austexjg · February 26th, 2011, 11:03 AM

I garaged my full size Bronco (with mods gets 9 mpg) when premium hit $1.65.... seems like a lifetime ago.

V2Neal · February 26th, 2011, 11:45 AM

$3.49 here.
Anyone wanna fill my diesel truck or RV for me?

I'll say $4/gal by April 1st. Seems fitting right?

Havok · February 26th, 2011, 11:47 AM

Over 4 bucks in some places in LA all ready. It will be by summer.

"A" · February 26th, 2011, 11:53 AM

Prices jumped from $3.17 to $3.29 in the lst 5 days.. I think the Ninja is going to get riddle lots this season.

bluepoof · February 26th, 2011, 11:55 AM

I paid $3.70 on Thursday night.

Sailariel · February 26th, 2011, 12:48 PM

$3.35, $3.80 in Bangor ME. Diesel is $4.00. It cost me $157.00 to fill my truck yesterday. I am one of the lucky ones who gets 18mpg.

warlord · February 26th, 2011, 01:05 PM

It was $3.80 for me but only because I have to use premium. Stupid supercharged Corolla...

wvninja · February 26th, 2011, 01:18 PM

why would you supercharge a corolla ...

anyways
$3.39 here for 87
$3.56 for 92
$3.68 for D

The bike will be taken to work a lot more often this summer if gas prices rise.

warlord · February 26th, 2011, 01:37 PM

Like there needs to be a reason to make something faster??? The story is that some poor college kid was selling a full s/c for cheap, so I bought it. It still gets 30+ MPG with a best measured economy of 38MPG (420miles on 11 gallons). It was actually the first thing I did to the car.

I can't wait to start commuting on my ninja. I calculated that at $4 per gallon it'll only cost about $1 for a round trip commute to work.

lonewolf05 · February 26th, 2011, 02:12 PM

just paid $3.31 here

ungluck · February 26th, 2011, 02:19 PM

4.04 here on west side of oahu...

my car..1984 vw jetta gli..

450+whp on pump gas(92) 380ft,lbs...33mpg..and that's when stomping on it..

the ninja has been gettin 47-51mpg..savin up for tyga full setup,FP jet kit and intake..improved mpg and power..yay!

i expect gas to get close to 4.60 here before it dies back down again..i alos expect a huge crisis as well.

gfloyd2002 · February 26th, 2011, 02:42 PM

$4.81 per gallon in Barbados ($1.25 per liter).

ungluck · February 26th, 2011, 02:45 PM

eff that..we'll be right behind ya here soon..especially outer island..oahu will stay the lowest probably..maybe..

i told the wife last night..both my race jugs and all my 5gallon cans are getting filled if it hits 4.20 by monday...cos people are gonna flip..we need to move to mainland so i can buy another diesel and make my own biodiesel again lol.

i ran my entire house on it in colorado, got a good tax break with the amoun ti produced for my vehicles,house and my dads stuff.

i was getting paid at the end to haul away grease from mom and pops resturaunts.

On the rise everywhere... Baltimore Sun article. "The price of heavily traded Brent crude oil rose more than $5 to top $111 a barrel. A month ago, the crude cost about $97."

I love my Ninja 250 and at 60-65mpg average I ride it a lot more during the warmer months than driving my Jeep that gets 20mpg average.

lonewolf05 · February 26th, 2011, 03:09 PM

Heres my baby i just got rid of... 02 Audi TT Quattro was pushing about 305 AWD HP on like 22lbs of boost
Was sad to see her go but the Ninja cheered me right up

ungluck · February 26th, 2011, 04:27 PM

305awdhp..looks stock??

not missing anything on my car, open draw to turbo..screen is usually there.

so who's ready for another gas crisis!!!??

singlecoillover · February 26th, 2011, 05:52 PM

$3.25 here. At that rate the bike will save me 72 bucks a month. At 4 dollars it would be $88 a month. And my car gets 35-38 MPG.

Sailariel · February 26th, 2011, 07:13 PM

People in the rest of the world have discovered long ago that motorcycles are a good and economical means of transportation. Here in the US we ride for sport and enjoyment. It is a big difference. I have used my motorcycles over the years as transportation at a considerable savings. I am currently exploring the possibility of fitting my bike with a sidecar.

scotty · February 26th, 2011, 08:02 PM

It was $3.04 in Myrtle Beach this morning. By the time I got back to Ohio, it was $3.39. That is nuts! My car eats gas, and the wife's car needs 93+ to run on. Lol Thank got for the bike!!

slolane · February 26th, 2011, 08:17 PM

My buddy purchased his 2010 Ninja 250 SE last year finally after he got a new job that is 80-some miles round trip. After the bike payment, insurance and gas he saves like $100-something a month rather than driving his SUV. Plus the enjoyment of having it as a recreation vehicle as well. Win-win.

Forced Induction FTW!

Other than the fact that you need to fill up with Premium.

Premium is $3.33 in my area, but I have a feeling that it will be up to $4.00/gal here soon.

That's really good for a S/C car!

I get 21-25 MPG in my T/C car.

AFAIK, US population had great public transportation prior to the auto industry boom. Electric trolleys were quite popular. Auto industry promote consumer behavior to depend on cars, buying a new car every few years and designed cars that have limited service cycles. In addition the roads & highway systems in the US are auto oriented.
Personaly, growing up in Asia, my whole family of five traveled on the ever reliable Honda C90 to go just about everywhere on our native island. Pavement, wherever they existed, was often narrow and very busy with other traffic. Sidecar may seem like a good idea, but make sure you have strong upper body to steer the rig, fuel econ are likely poor on them, too. But they are fun to ride for short amount of time.

Tell me about it. That's more than the (stock) EPA rating by a fair margin, if I didn't see it for myself I wouldn't believe it.

I got about the same fuel economy as you do in my last car which was turbocharged although I was running it at 9psi lo and 18 psi hi (Profec B Spec2). I kept it 18psi most of the time though because it was just too much fun.

Who thinks we'd have rioting if gas ever hit $5 per gallon in the US? I think we'd have the petrolium execs lined up in congress again so our elected officials can pretend like they're doing something about it...

almost40 · February 27th, 2011, 09:44 AM

Anyone else read the book, The oil card by James R Norman? I know it is popular to blame the oil execs but this book will give you a different take on who controls the price of oil.
