It just does a roller coaster thing in US. I hear it's over $4 USD in a few areas of the US now. Around here about $2.80 but it's been over $3 after the big hurricanes last year then back down to near $2 and I bet it'll be over $3 just in time for summer.
*** can you do about it except ride a bike more and a cage less

We just went over $3.00 a gallon today in the coastal areas of Connecticut. I guess I will just have to make every day casual day at work and ride the Rocket in for the rest of the summer....

Gas prices suck! But does give me more of a reason to ride the S3 to work! But then when I want to play, more of a reason not to, considering I do 250-300 miles easily on a nice Saturday ride! Wished there was something we could do, but you know how the saying goes, "the rich get richer!"  Btw, right at $3.00 a gall here in NC, USA.

Oh well CB, at least you'll never have to replace your front tire. It never touches the ground! :razz:
