Anyone try a carb from one of the four stroke 250 MX bikes?

I didn't include the tax - sales tax on it was $60 so that adds another $.23/gallon. I'm betting you're likely paying more tax on yours, ours is just flat out gouging. It was like $1.49 last summer, $2.49 a month ago. Temps drop, supply isn't really short, but getting it shipped is the issue. They take advantage of this transportation caused "shortage" and jack the prices.

Don't worry my fellow klx'ers. Over here in Australia we are paying between $1.50 and $1.60 a litre. Depending on what mood the gas station is in.

So, now he controls the weather too? You honestly need to look elsewhere and lay blame where it should be. With the profiteering of the gas/oil industry.

It was a transportation problem. They simply had some difficulty getting the need filled trucking it in in tankers (the way it is transported) especially with the snow that gridlocked several midwest states for sure. I had an order of bolts from Fastenal that not only got slowed down, but actually got lost briefly in Indianapolis distribution when they were buried with orders that couldn't ship. So the gas companies jacked up the prices - because they could. Fastenal didn't jack up the hardware prices.

Besides, I don't think they allow politics here.

Wrong gas - we're hitting on propane. Of course you guys haven't needed it for several months now. In fact you have had plenty of heat from what I"ve read and heard! We were sitting down around -15C for about a week. One day never got above -18. Heat running almost all day long.
