This is EXACTLY what I was getting at.
My driving behavior changes dramatically depending on what I drive. In my truck, driving with a soft foot costs me about 30 min per day in my 45 miles of commuting, but when I'm talking about 18mpg vs 14mpg, it's a worthwhile difference in cost.
On my motorcycle, I tend to use WOT extensively and drive more aggressively. It saves me about 30min per day over driving for efficiency, but the cost is negligable at 45mpg vs 55mpg.
