Holy Gas Batman!
I just filled up... $68 later. 
and that's just regular.
Shouldn't I be getting more than 450 km's out of a tank? I've done both filters, injector seals, plugs, rotor, cap, wires, air filter.
Would a bad O2 sensor cause such bad MPG?
...or maybe not flooring it every chance I get...

$68 for a tank of Gas? You can get and feed a horse for cheaper than that!
Even with the difference between USD abd Canadian $$$, that sux.
I'm thinking that you should be able to get at least + or- 450 miles to a tank, not 450 km to a tank.
when's tha last time you tuned it up? What kind of engine is in that thing?

Going to be around $90.00...
Ha! You have it easy...!
Seems that the urq likes it's gas expensive (Sonoco 94, else it pings).
That stuff is around $1.05/liter here. And the urq has a 90l tank..! Doing the math, that's going to hurt.
Normally, I don't fill the tank. But when I head down to the UPG meet, It'll be getting a fillup. Good thing is, I'll pretty well make it there on one tank. (~800 Km)
Ouch, for sure!

That's OK...
It's about time people paid for their environmental damage. Big SUV/Truck drivers are going to fare much worse. My commuter bike has been getting a workout(as have I) since prices have gotten high. Going to be a fun winter of cycle commuting to work as well.
I still see 90% of people with one person/vehicle on the way to work regardless of vehicle size so it must not be hitting hard enough yet.

Re: Holy Gas Batman!
Last time I filled up it was 43.00 for 93 oct and I put 358 miles on it as of today. However I will be reloading tonight after I get home from work should be around 400 miles total. I think it's about a 16 gal tank, but I'm not positive ( I'm sure I will be corrected by someone ). The engine particulars: 2.3 NG block, 2.2 KX head (because I had a carb maniffold for it ), 2bbl Weber carb. (I'm working on the NG carb manifold.)
