Is gas running out on search engines, asks a perplexed Jon Honeyball?

One of the wonderful things about riding motorbikes is the camaraderie that comes with it. As the summer months roll in, there are almost nightly get-togethers that you can ride to, grab a bite to eat and natter with likeminded people, some of whom become friends over time.

Take Wicked Wheelie Wednesday, which happens every Wednesday night deep into the fens at Fendick's Fishery, a place for fishing enthusiasts. It's also home to a fine bar and a café that serves quite exceptional burgers. Leave home at 5pm, get there for 6, grab a burger and Coke, mooch around looking at the huge variety of bikes and still be home for 8pm. Just in time for a beer at the local pub with other friends.

A few weeks ago, I filled up my 2013 BMW R1200R bike at a petrol station en route. I was a little surprised at the bill of £36.14, which seemed high even though the tank was nearly empty. The pump said it was around 22 litres, and I only use E5 98RON fuel in my motorbikes. So that would be around £1.64 a litre; pricey but not outrageous. A friend was riding with me too, and mentioned later in the pub that his bill was also higher than he expected.
