Growing up in Texas, it was regularly 18.9 cents in summer, it got down to 12.9 cents once in a gas war. I could fill up my motor scooter with pocket change. I love big oil. You could buy a brand new 1965 Mustang convertible with 289 V-8 then for $2500. Boo Hoo, those days are over. Criswell Sent from my iPad

They haven't built a new refinery in what...about 40 years. Too much hassle from the EPA from what I heard. Houston, south Texas, southern Louisiana has a bunch of refineries. It is what makes Houston's air yellow. Smells like money (heh). Interestingly, if new pipelines are built to Houston, that still doesn't mean in this free market that the USA will get that gas. It is sold to the highest bidder (I think). I have heard that some Alaskan North Slope oil goes to Japan. I have also read, our buddy Hugo Chavez sends the Venezuelan heavy crude here to the US to be refined and sold under the Citgo name (which I don't buy). Heavy crude like Venezuela and also Iran produces is harder to refine so neither country refines their own as I understand it. It is a complex and inter-related world we live in. We do not drill in the Florida Straits off places like Key West because......Florida doesn't want a drilling disaster like happened with the BP rig malfunction. Guess who is going to drill in those straights for that oil according to what I have read? Cuba and China as partners. Offshore rigs are like trees in the Gulf around Louisiana and Texas. I knew a guy who sailed his boat from Florida to Texas and didn't sleep for 3 days as he was constantly dodging rigs. We in Texas look at oil wells as a nice tree (some of us). We like wind power also. A brother-in-law is getting rich off wind turbines built on his land around Amarillo. Criswell Sent from my iPad

We still pay less than average here in Texas. Today you can find gas for $3.82 a gallon. It is sad we are talking about $3.80 gas being a good thing... ________________________________ From: Ron Criswell To: Lourd Baltimore Cc: "DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com" DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, April 2, 2012 2:59 PM Subject: Re: [DSN_KLR650] Re: gas Growing up in Texas, it was regularly 18.9 cents in summer, it got down to 12.9 cents once in a gas war.

Funny thing that when I fill a KTM in Peru I pay +$13.USD/gal, 98 Octane at any station. I have never heard anyone complain about the price of fuel in all of Peru...a third whirrld nation. The maid in our house is paid the required $230/ month. That's the govt. mandated minimum wage, the vast majority of the population is at, and well below that number. Go figure.

Always highest octane I can get.

I buy gas based on:

 

1) Price.

2) Price

3) Price

 

...which means that I am not willing to pay $.20 to $.40 per gallon more for high octane because the KLR does not need it.

 

I had a couple of gallons in a can that sat around for more than a year and dumped it into the KLR, thinking "this thing will run on anything" but that was a mistake. Knocking and pinging, I quickly filled it with high octane, which took care of the noise but after that, went back to 87 octane on the next fill up.

 

I'll sometimes go out of my way to find gas with no ethanol in it, but it always costs considerably more here in PA. The trade off is that I get about 10% better gas mileage and the carb stays cleaner.

If you're ever in Central Oklahoma be sure to drop by Seaba Station on old Route 66 near Chandler, OK. The old brick gas station, built in 1921, is now a motorcycle museum with quite a collection of old motorcycles. Some pre 1910 If I Remember correctly. Old Indians, Harley's, even a 1970's?  Triumph that never made it out of the crate. http://www.seabastation.com/ Admission was donations last time I went. Paul Sent from my iPhone

Went to the Motorcycle Museum in St Francis, KS today. Well worth the modest donation requested at the door.
