    Hmmm Crazy Carl ? That depends if the gas prices go up anymore I think ?
    Good grief :thumbdown:
    How much is it in China now, for Super unleaded if you can even get it ?
    How many miles is my trip ? And how long of a trip ?
    Ideally I would say FOREVER on both !!!!!

    I see you moved my post . It is good to be King isnt it . Ha ha

    Cheers , Snorton Norton

    Regular 90 octane is now about 5RMB a liter. I don't actually check the 97octane but I'm guessing it's over 6.

    More than a couple people on here can move threads but this is a thread talking about preparing for a trip and figured this is the Trip Prep forum.

    1+1=11

    You ever read Henry V? :biggrin:

    RMB is RenMinBi which is the Chinese currency and is now ~7:1 US. 5RMB is about 70 cents USD per liter so you're talking about 2.80 to 3.00USD per US gallon.

    On a 150 or 200cc, you can cover some distance for not too much money!

    Yeah man, that's a tough situation. It's all about getting more out of what you've got. I think the days of incredible convenience will slowly fade out in the next 200 years as resources get stressed. But this gives you the chance to put on the MadMax outfit you've had sitting in your closet for so long.

    Beyond the Norton-Dome. You know you want to.
