But real world miles are daily commuting miles, and most of us don't go cross country, daily.

When I was in Southeast Asia, I hardly ever saw bikes even as big as a 250. I think 150cc was the biggest.

I also kind of have to wonder, if Craig is so bent on saving America and fuel at the same time, why he makes no mention of obesity and the over all energy savings we'd have if we didn't consume excess food; not to mention, the fuel savings you'd have if you aren't overweight. If Craig & Co were on a normal diet, they might only need 2-3 bags of groceries instead of 4.
