How much you drive?

I have a 130 mile commute.
This month I work 23 days.
My truck gets 20 mpg and uses 6.5gal a day at 3.60 a gallon. That's 23.40 a day.
The bike gets 55 mpg (driving faster) uses 2.3 gallons a day that's 8.50 a day.
So 538.20 to drive the truck all month or 195.50 on the bike. 342.70 savings just this month.

Bike tires for mine cost about 100 each plus tubes. And should last a season.

But I enjoy the ride rain or shine alot better on the bike.
