Right you are.

The point that I didn't make very clear (sorry) is this. Once you get to this level of fuel (non) consumption, the differences are small. So you may as well start looking at other non-fuel attributes. Those who chose bikes enjoy the environment in a way I can't from my car. I get that. I have family and hauling needs that require more than a bike can give me. So that's why I lean to the car side of the spectrum.
