BTW if you fill up a Retro with 5 gal. @ $2.58 = $12.90.

A lot of money. Now if you really want to get sick fill my truck and my gas cans. 46 Gal. $118.68 Now that makes me sick!

I just dropped $12 to fill up. Gas at the Casey's in Hudson went up to $2.79 this afternoon. That's for the cheap stuff. That's what I get for avoiding paying $2.75 in Bloomington.

I never thought I'd say it, but I envy you guys up around Chicago! :?

I just filled up my truck today! Only cost me $73.00. I'm glad I didn't wait until it was empty! My bike is needing a fill so if it's only $10 that will make me feel better. :( :( :(

Here's the sad part Oakslicer, I filled up at $2.75 per gal at 12:00 in Normal and when I was on my way to work at 3:00 it was back down to $2.55! Man I was pissed off! $54.00 in the truck when it could have been $50.00. Not much of a savings but still, at these prices every penny counts.

I'm not sure what's going on in the Bloomington area, I was at the FS on Morris Ave about 12:30 todayand as I watched they changed the price for unleaded from $2.55 to $2.75 a gallon! Ouch!! It's $2.65 by my house in Yorkville. Absolutley crazy!

Just got back from a road trip, aprox. 5,000 miles, Sturgis, Las Vegas, the up to Califonia. Gas was $2.19 in Wyoming and $3.09 in CA. That's a wide spread.

They did 30 pulls on the NEO last week. So they are getting pretty close to opening up shop.

No PowerCommander for me on either bike, but I can still get a Dyno run to document the numbers. Then I think I'll do a set of Cobra pipes for the Wing, and punch out the pipes on the Rune and do more Dyno runs. Before and After are always a great way to do Dyno's. :P
