Fuel prices?

I know petrol isnt cheap but have to agree its value for money when put in a motorcycle purely for the grin factor.
Fuel for my bike is the only fuel expenditure i have as i drive a company vehicle with a company fuel card which covers my personal mileage needs too :biggrin: I tend to buy my petrol from Morrisons or Asda as they are the nearest to my house & cheaper than most but quite happily fill my company van to the brim with diesel at motorway services at £1.49.9p per litre :smile:

 

I get an email each week off PetrolPrices.com telling me where the cheapest fuel around me is, its a free service so saves a few quid.

For me as long as its not throwing it down with rain I would prefer to fuel the bike and ride it to work and go without my car & van. Its a sure fire way to arrive at work with a smile on my face and blow away the stresses of the day on the way home again. That doesn't really happen when I drive my van!

 

I would never get my tool chest, welding equipment, generator, power tools & the vast amount of spare parts that i need to carry in the saddle bags of my America though. Plus i dont fancy sticking an average of 5000 miles per month extra on clock.
My van is a late 61 plate with over 55k on the clock already!

 

Mines a VW campervan so I don't think the missus would be too impressed if we had to spend a holiday sleeping on the back of the Daytona either!!

 

Blimey... Flashing lights? I just have to wait until the engines dies then fiddle around for the tap thingy :smile:

 

Oooh.... Think of the Nectar points mate :smile:

 

Brucey bonus! :upyeah:

I collect the Nectar points too but try to fill up at Morrisons where possible & collect the Morrisons Miles points, normally end up getting a £5 voucher every 3 weeks max! :biggrin:

 

Last year was the first time that I really noticed the cost of the fuel on a ride-out. I don't tend to get out that much but tend to kick the arse out of it when I do - on a typical day I'll do 400-500 miles. Makes for a £100 day out with something to eat and a pint or two! :frown:

 

Bry you do love your mileage... 400-500 a day... Dam...

 

Think petrol would need to get a lot more expensive before not filling the bike up and heading out. Have noticed the difference since getting rid of the Ducati; always the most expensive bike to fill up when we went out for group rides
