Which is one of the minor reasons I don't own a bike any more. (The major one being that these days I almost always have dogs with me.) When I can get an honest 70+ mpg out of my Insight, riding a bike to get the same or worse seems silly. Not to mention that around here (Sierra Nevada/Great Basin) getting ~50 mpg with a 3-4 gallon tank puts some limits on where you can go - at least with the expectation of not having to hitchhike back :-(
