Saving Some $$$$
My car gets approximately 20 miles/gallon, and costs between $29-$32 on each fill up. I average one fill up per week with the car.
My bike gets approximately 65 miles/gallon, and costs between $9-$11 on each fill up. I average one fill up per week with the bike.
So far I haven't had to fill up the car in over a month, and there is still a quarter tank left. If I did not have the bike, I would have spent between $203-224 in the seven weeks I have been riding the Ninja. Riding the bike almost every day has cost me about $70 in the past seven weeks. I have saved around $150 in just over a month of riding the Ninja instead of driving my car.
I would hate to be a driver of an SUV, or truck with the cost of gas today. When I fill up the company truck, It costs more than $75 each time. How can people pay this much for their own vehicles? I also feel the less I give my hard earned $$$$$$ to OPEC, the better off we'll all be.

I get 8 mpg in the truck, 6 on the Big Truck, and High 20's on the bike, up to mid 30's, in Town depending on how I drive that particular week...lol
Dang, I guess I never added it up.. $150 a month you saved Mark? wow... If you look at it that way, it's like the oil companies are paying my future ZX14 payment! lol
