So they are good enough for millions of motorists worldwide, but not here?

RH77- Do/would you ride a bicycle or motorcycle?
I investigated trying to import a new car from Canada and it was a big, expensive roadblock. I think if the vehicle is old enough, you can import one legally. Registering it State-to-State is another issue.

As for a bicycle, I used to ride almost every other day. That was back when I lived closed to a park with a long trail, and I could take back streets to get to it. Today I'd have to haul it somewhere to ride -- IMO too dangerous with the crazy drivers here. A woman was killed just a block from my house by a tanker truck, which is where I fuel-up. It's one incident of many.

Motorcycles -- not so much. I had a dirt bike a while back, and that was enough. I figured out quickly that I need 4 wheels. How much more of an FE boost can I really expect? I rarely see (or hear) anything but loud "cruisers" that likely get less than the average car driver attains.
