Say what you will about cars, but it would depend strongly on where you live. As a personal note I am on this mission to improve efficiency because my best friend currently sits in a hospital recovering from an accident he had on his motorcycle. He was hit by a car, a lady on her freakin cell phone. He will likely have permanent brain damage despite wearing a helmet and that will be the best scenario if his physical wounds heal 100%.

Oh BTW, he OWNS a SCION xA, his excuse for getting a bike was better gas mileage. And I have dozens of friends I have lost to bikes, which I love and use to build, but the general public is just to stupid to respect them on the road.

So stay on 4 wheels and have fun Hypermiling, unless you want to reduce your carbon footprint by leaving this world ..
