No kidding, it costs me about $30 to fill up my car and I only get about 180 miles to the tank.

My bike is less then $10 and I get about 120 miles from it.

Doing the math, thats 16.6 cents a mile for the car and only 8 cents a mile for the bike.

I've never had to reason with myself...I almost feel sorry for the people that have to
