Yesterday, I paid $3.94 a gallon for premium fuel at the Country Corners Gas Mart on Orcas.  I put close to 4.5 gallons of fuel and filled-up my motorcycle at a total cost of $16.50.  For a motorcycle.  I can't believe it.  Now, I do realize that I could have used just plain regular un-leaded, at $3.74 a gallong, saving me some 84 cents, but the bike seems to run and perform better on the higher octane fuel. 

I remember the first time I spent over $10.00 to fill up my motorcycle tank, and it wasn't very long ago.  I thought that a fuel line had come un-done and fuel was spilling over the ground, but no it was just the price.  Freaked me out though.
