Thanks for your reply.

There is one more variable that I take into account is price per mile and here the diesel car get an advantage of almost 30% over the gas bike.

As stated, I would need to hit the 70 mpg barrier to make the bike as economical as the car.
Not to mention the bike requires much more maintenance and one that is a fair bit more expensive ...

Anyway, I think the least expensive will be to learn how to drive nice and slow rather than changing bike ...
