    ummm I read it was hedge fund managers who were (had been?) speculating on oil prices. Anything to do with you perhaps
    2001 Transalp XLV650. Faithful old friend still chugging away nearly 100,00miles
    2007 Varadero XLV1000. Now you're torquing but sadly gone to another forum member. One of the best bikes - period.

    Thre's still a couple of petrol stations in Luton that have Unleaded at 98.9 a litre.

    The one next to Dave Bliss Motorcycles and the one opposite Sainsbury's in Bury Park.

    Perhaps as this thread is here it might be handy to post if we see any cheap places so that others local may partake

    This is something we are going to have to get used to; peak oil production is either here now or has passed, and the stuff is only going to get more scarce. Fuel economy is going to get increasingly important. It's a good reason to consider the new Alp. Make the most of the next 10 years...
