    Still only 116 odds in Edinburgh for diesel but yes I have also noticed the traffic has decreased since the fuel panics up here. Getting home on the TA is taking much less time than usual.
    Maybe just the bike goes faster on super unleaded I am forced to use now that unleaded has run out in most petrol stations.

    one of the handy things about being close to irish border (3miles) i just scoot over border and petrol is cheaper and the euro is less than the pound so we pay a lot less for fuel,getting bit more expensive now but still great! most all the filling stations in DERRY closed down years ago!!!

    Fuel stations over here get two pence per litre, out of the thirty six pence per litre the refiners charge the rest is TAX.

    Re: Fuel costs

    its a horrible price to pay and by the time it comes to thelongestday its going to be even higher..

    but in a sad way i think its needed to get people to think about driving...
    its part of the reason why i started riding. its also the reason why im going to sell my 1.6 MX-5 and get a 1.3 Skoda estate... of all the things i want to be blowing my money on.. fuel isn't one of them

    Re: Fuel costs

    £20 to fill my TA yesterday and it wasn't even empty.

    I tell you what, when I signed for the Longest Day trip I didn't think it was going to cost me this much!!!
    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.
