Went for a little ride yesterday just to get out the house, sunny but cold and dry.

Ride on! your bike sounds healthy, what is fuel costing you these days?

My bike is still apart but I have everything needed to put her back together now and a bunch of time to do it.

Here the price for Shell and Exxon 89 octane is $2.09 per gallon. Of course that's before you get the Giant Food discount. Some other brands of regular gas cost $1.99 per gallon, but I always run "top-tier" brands of gasoline. Yesterday, with the discount, I bought Shell 89 octane for $1.85 per gallon. Keep in mind that included in that price is the Maryland state tax of $.35 per gallon and the Federal tax of $.18 per gallon, so the fuel itself before taxes cost me $1.32 per gallon. Ed

Most of the price of gasoline is Tax for the treasury, the oil companies are on a very narrow profit margin over here.

Gas has been hovering around the $2.00 mark for a long time here in the lou. Gas prices jump considerably whenever crossing over the Mississippi into Illinois. JB has to pay for all of that free stuff somehow. :pinch:

On today's price of gas in the UK for every $ you spend 66 cents goes to the government, and they call the oil companies greedy.

I live in the country but work in the Chicago land area and get clipped for around 400 bucks a year in tolls.
my truck only gets around 16 mpg and my closest gig is 120 miles round trip, if I had to pay 5 bucks a gallon we'd be sunk.
This lock down is going to bring the American Express ( credit card )way down but then we have nothing coming in either.
Now I'm spending money on gardening and bike parts instead of gas :)
Our government is printing new money like crazy right now and I'm sure our taxes will reflect that sooner or later.
