i got 43.8 mpg on my last fill up on my bike.

thats the best ive ever gotten, plus i was beatting on the bike kinda hard.

main reson is i switched from regular bs gas thats about a block from my house, and to shell gas.

shell has gave me +8mpg!
thats worth the extra price to me.



the stang went from 14-16mpg, to 16-18mpg on shell gas too!



give it a try fella's might not work teh first take, but try at least 3 full tanks of it, and i bet you will see an imporvement

These prices are uncalled for. They are probably running out of oil and are trying to make as much as they can before it's gone. Oil profits are higher than ever. I am definitly getting a daily 4 or 6 to drive. I got a Concorde lxi that my wife drives. That gets 18-22 mph.

I just watched my local news and they were talking about 4.00 is not so bad. UK gas is 8.53 a gallon, Newfoundland 9.54. But then saudi arabia 0.61 a gallon. And the lowest is venizualla (however you spell it) at 0.11 cents a gallon. Can you believe that s^!)!

Newfoundland is 5.25per U.S.gal and 6.30 per Can.gal. It works out to 139.001 per litre. If you talk about U.S. gas in litres your all still below a $1 we have not seen that for 2-3 years......

I feel you guys pain with the gas price's. I hardly drive my mustang. Just to the track and ocassionaly pick up my daughter cause she thinks it's cool. But at 6-7 mpg in town i cant afford to drive it often. My DD is not much better. 93 F-250 4x4 with a windsor, it only gets 11 mpg. I'm seriously looking into getting something that's ALOT better on gas.
