So my fuel gage was down to the red, and the yellow light came on the last time I rode. Today was my second day of commuting to work, so I figured I'd gas up on the way.
I pull over to the pump, run my credit card through, hit the fuel selection button and try squeezing the pump handle -- nothing happens. I'm banging the button, but my selection doesn't display and no gas. Banging, banging, banging the button...nothing. Try the credit card again when the nice gentleman from India comes out laughing, saying, "That's the diesel nozzle. It says, 'diesel' right on the nozzle."
Wait: it gets better.
I forget how much the tank holds, but I thought it was at least 4 gallons, so I say to myself, "I'll put in 4 gallons this time, and I'll note the odometer reading to check my gas mileage." I stop the pump at 4, and head off to work.
Strange, the gage reads half-full. Well, maybe it takes a minute or so to register. I forget about it in the sheer thrill of the morning ride to work.
On my way home, I notice the needle has traveled a good deal of the distance toward empty. I start thinking, "That's odd... how could I have used up all that gas I put in this morning. Uh oh: is something wrong with the bike?"
A few more miles and the tank reads empty. "Shoot, I've got a real problem here. And I thought I had such a good deal on this used machine. That seller didn't tell me about this. Now I'm going to have spend time and money to get it fixed. What could even be the problem? I'm mechanically (among other areas) clueless, I should ask someone what's going on."
I get to a station and pull out the receipt from this morning, where I had written down the odometer reading. May as well make sure how much gas I put in, too.
HELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOooooooooooooo: I didn't put in 4 gallons of gas; I put in $4.00 of gas, about 1.2 something gallons. Which gives me about 58 mpg. DUH!
Can I still be a member of this group?

Convert-program, odličan besplatni konverter najrazličitijih vrijednosti u puno fizikalnih kategorija ( http://www.joshmadison.com/software/ ), kaže mi da je 1 US gallon = 3.785412 hrvatskih litara...
Drugim riječima, on je tankao cca 4,7 litara za cca 23,7 kuna, iliti hrvatska litrica tam dojde 5 čuna preračunato... ako to pomnožimo sa standardom, račun zgleda još grđe...
