LOL, like someone would go to the extreme of stealing an 1/8th of a tank of gas. What a parking lot poser! You should be riding an Elite with a rainbow sticker.

I wouldn't be worried about the gas. 100 -140 spree, aero and elites need to be chained down or locked inside when gas prices go over $3.

the seat lock isn't too great, I can get into mine by putting a screwdriver in the keyhole and turning it, the latch moves just enough to open the seat.

Talked with owner of a Speedway Gas Station, he said projection is over $4.20/gallon by June 1st in Milwaukee

Been filling my truck up with E20 (20% ethanol. Regular gas has 10% ethanol, so it's not to bad as compaired to burning E85).

Saving $10/on each tank of gas on my truck. The E20 is 50cents/gallon cheaper, and I get .2 mpg less. So it equals out to about $10/tank savings.

Better watch out people, gas thieves are targeting Spree scooters instead of 50 gallon suburbans. Be warned, you may end up getting ripped off a 1/2 gallon of gas!

the next time you dont plan on riding for a few days unhook the gas lines and fill the tank with water that will teach em
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.
