There's no way to do it. It's different from person to person. That's why I say I'll have to try for myself.

Anyway, how large are those grocery bags?

Oh, I forgot about the cost per mile thing: up to this point, maintenance (and parts, tires, etc) was always somewhat more than the consumed gasoline. And now (after 78000km | 48000mi) they're both a bit over the purchase price (gas is more expensive now and the bike was used). So gas is not everything by far. Insurance and taxes are there too.
