What I find interesting is that I used to could fill my Yamaha Special II or Seca up with about $3.00 (plum to the top) worth of gas....back in the late 80's and early 90's. Now it takes over $8.00 to fill my m50 up! Maybe it's not the MPG but PPG (price per gallon)!!

| One plausible reason for the PPG
Subject.........An Arab ski resort AN ENGINEERING MASTERPIECE Place--Dubai, United Arab Emirates The first pic is during the construction phase. The second is when project done........notice the palm trees outside. Keep in mind this is in the middle of the desert, the VERY HOT desert where the tepurature reaches up to 120 degrees. Unbelievable, but true. Now for a look inside-pics 3, 4 and 5. Now tell me why gasoline is $2.40 a gallon for regular unleaded....

They have something the rest of the world wants and needs, why shouldn't they make as much money as they can? During the Beenie Baby craze, if you had a hundred of them, wouldn't you have sold them for $70 a piece too? Or would you have been a good little boy and sold them for what they were worth, $5?

Of course they are going to make as much money as they can. What else do they have to make money with? Farming? BTW, I say this thread goes political before 12 am Eastern time!

 hhhmm political.... http://www.suzuki-bikes.com/forum/sh...82&postcount=1 Now as far as MPH...I'd have to aggree with others here, it depends on the riding style, weather and road conditions. Yeah Bill, what pots did you adjust??...I'm also considering the TFI-(if needed) after I do the exhaust.
