Though I could live with it if
1.) refill would be just as fast as with gasoline
2.) batteries would not deteriorate with age
My comment about 150mpg was a generalization and not meant to diminish alvaro's MPG accomplishments. My best tank was my last, and I got 56mpg and 220 miles. Not too shabby for spirited driving in the mountains.

I would like an electric that only goes 150mi since I plan to have multiple motorcycles. Heck, I'd settle for 100.
