I'm not too concerned. Over a whole tank it's like 4 bucks or something. I could skip on buying coffee twice a week to even things out. Agree with Rob though, yeah not much we can do about it though unfortunately

It's all hocus pocus.
And I blame the Arabs and greed.

lol.

I still reckon this is like the fuel crisis in the late 70'sd to mid 80's.
Fuel guzzlers get sold for cheap, then fuel prices come back down when waaaay more is "found" (lol.. there's enough to last the planet at current consumption for the next 50+ years just sitting in barrels....)

But.. at the end of the day, we'll kill ourselves before we get into deep space.

This generation wont see the amazing advancements the ones 2,3,and 4 before us saw during their lives. Ah well.

No one is gonna like it, but we all have to live with it and deal. Make of things now, when fuel keeps going up, may have to change cars...

As it is, I ride my bike as often as I can, I do get more enjoyment out of my car when I drive it around after having driven it less.

The reason why it goes up is because the biggest reservoir in Saudi is running out fast. So they bump their prices coz of demand. If the Saudis are charged more tax for their oil rigs everyone downstream will feel the magnitude.

This is why I have a motorcycle I fill up $22 bucks for 430ks

Id buy a road bike...but not with canberra drivers lol

One of the main reasons Harley's and sports bikes are allowed way over the db level. Lazy little f**kers who won't turn their heads to look into the lane they want to be in.

I found Canberra drivers to be pretty good though :/

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
