Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

They will eventually, it will be like the 99p barrier. Eventually it will be broken and continue to rise after that

Barrier? It's more likely their goal!

I'm sure I can remember filling my TS50ER tank for less than £1.50

I remember filling a Puch Maxi I borrowed - it cost 96p

My cheapest tank was £17 on a moped.

I think it was just over £1 a gallon when i started having to buy it.

Fwiw I can clearly remember discussing ( aka mutually complaining ) about it when it became clear that fuel was going to reach £1 a gallon. My friend Andy actually said to me "no one will pay that much for fuel, they'll have to keep it below a pound"

Andy was half right, they stopped selling it by the gallon and priced it per litre.

And yet you still typically think in miles-per-gallon in terms of fuel economy, yes??

Yep, we've never used MPL

On HGV training today we pulled in to Weatherby services to top the wagon up and it was £1.69.9 a litre... Glad I was not paying that bill.

It was £1.56 for E10 unleaded on the A14 services last weekend.

Back to over £1.56 a litre.

If war breaks out, i wonder how close to £2 a litre it will get?

It's around £1.469 here.

I paid 1.53 last weekend.

1.419 tonight.. 1.519 for super

I was over Wolverhampton way earlier and noticed at a couple of stations petrol was £1.589. I did see one at £1.609.

Frankley Service station (M5) is selling petrol at £1.559

It's anywhere as low as £1.429 to around £1.489 near me.

I pulled in to Ferrybridge services this morning and noticed they are charging £1.70.9 for unleaded, £1.77.9 for Diesel... Anyone travelling around the A1M/M62 junction would do well to go somewhere else for fuel.

It's generally around the £1.45 mark for unleaded near me and a bit more for Diesel at supermarkets, the named brands are £1.50+

Just filled the mini up to go to Sheffield tomorrow, £1.63 for E10! It was due a tank of super, but I didn't win the lottery this week. £75 to fill up a mini FFS.

I've not put super in for a long time.. I simply can't afford it. I'll do it for our holiday to Cornwall next month though.

I'd previously aim for every 5th tank to be V-Power
