Well, sure :-) But where do you find an 80 mpg bike? (I mean an actual bike that you wouldn't be afraid to take on the interstate, not a Vespa-like scooter.) I've had a number of bikes over the years, from a 350cc Honda back in the '70s to the most recent 850cc Suzuki. As far as I can remember, none got much better than 50 mpg. On the other hand, I'm now driving a car that gets over 70 mpg.
