Well, here we go again, gas just went up 20 cents to $1.50-$1.70 a gallon and from what I hear with a possible war comming up it will keep going up!!
I really hate to sound so negitive, but how many of us can really afford to play at 2-3 maybe $4.00 dollars a gal.?
This will really put a damper on alot of folks that have family's riding.
With the stock market plumeting, owning a sled may be a trade for food and shelter. I sure hope not!!!

In northern Canada, the pump price for 92 octane is $1.07 CDN/litre. *That works out to around $2.55 US/US gallon. *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif **Can you mail me some of that $1.33 fuel? * *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Zog, you mail me some of that free health care you get thru gas taxes and I will. The buck 1.70 is for 87 octane.
RNM2399, wait until u get up in the morning, it will be different.
dooman, there have been some super deals out all summer but the season is closing in and getting just a tad bit harder.

1.64 for super here in Maine. Northern Maine where i ride is usually 15-20 more a gallon http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif

Why wouldn&#39;t you be able to use nontaxed fuel in your sled? *It is not an on road vehicle, and should not be subject to road use taxes. *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

Its the same with my boat, but the Can gov&#39;t keeps taking the road taxes anyway.

You were right Mikadoo... $1.53 today. Hopefully I wont need gas before it goes down again.

87 octane is around 80-82 per litre,not sure bout the premium,usually 10-12 cents more http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

I say the season premier of West Wing last night and they protrayed a Ford diesel pick up that was converted to run on soy. *Man if this was possible we&#39;d be out of trouble.

I wonder how much oil reserves we would have from the Alaskain pipeline WE built many years ago if the greedy oil barrons stopped selling it to Japan? Last I ever heard they pay $4.00 a gal. for fuel!!!!
Where I snowmobile, there are oil rigs everywhere and most sit idle because their so full there is nowhere to store it, at least that&#39;s what the guy&#39;s that run them say. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

hey folgers i agree with you 100% they should atleast help us out with the oil they have so #### much of it!!!!!!!!
* *god #### dune coons!!!!!!!

last time i looked it was 1.43 at the local cenex *near crookston ,mn

the sled is nothing i just dislike the heating costs and it costs huge to run a 4x4 up the road on a daily basis.

I really hope that RX-1 test rider was correct when he said he recorded 24.5 mpg&#39;s this spring driving the #### out of it http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

i just pity those guys running older machines from the early 90`s with those big twin gas guzzlers under the hood. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

ACTUALLY WE CCAN USE THE GAS IN OUR SLEDS BUT I LIKE TO RUN HIGHER OCTANE, AND WITH ONLY A 100 GALLON TANK IT WOULD DISSAPEAR REAL QUICK AND THEN WE DON&#39;T HAVE ANY FOR THE STUFF THAT REALLY NEEDS IT

Just to back up highlandergerman, gas has been around $1.45/gal. all summer long in that neighborhood. Has been less at times in surrounding areas.

You guys are forgetting how good we have it. *Last time I checked it was about $5/Liter in Germany. *Yeah, $5/Liter not Gallon. *There are about 3.75 liters in a gallon. *So use some math and figure that out, cause I&#39;m too lazy. *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Just went up again on the week-end,

87 octane was 79.9 cdn/litter


Went to my grandma&#39;s house over in the states near Malone, the price was 1.43 US/gallon

Its like $1.35 here for 87. I hope it stays that way too. Premo is about $1.45-50. Depends on the place. I&#39;m glad I put the Z into storage or I would be pissed over these gas prices. :)

Gas around here runs about 69.5/L for 87 octane and 79.5 for premium. tends to fluctuate every day. The only thing for sure is that if a long weekends coming than the gas price goes up. I tried using farm gas here in my sled. Didn&#39;t work that great. They put this dye in it and call it purple gas. Makes a mess of your carbs. It sure was cheap though. Didn&#39;t offset the cost of rebuilding my carbs. It doesn&#39;t really matter though. They got us by our short and curly&#39;s. They know we gotta ride and we&#39;ll yell about it but in the end we still buy the stuff.

It just jumped to 75cents/litre here.

Of course, we only make it all here in Sarnia, so why should it be any cheaper here.

:cussing: :cussing:

I have had about enough of this price gouging :cussing:
I&#39;am on my way to Chicago to hire me some good "O" boys to have a word with some oil barrons :devil:
