What does a liter of fuel cost in the US?
Over here it's 1.30 euros a liter (cheapest, 95 RON). A euro is about 1.30 USD if I remember correctly. That is 1.69 USD/liter.
Quite expensive. Riding my bike is by far more expensive by km compared to my car. It needs more maintenance (every 10,000 km compared to 50,000 km for my car), uses more tires, oil etc..
Nevertheless I use my bike for commuting when I feel like it. But when I do, I have a hard time not taking the afternoon off looking at my bike on the parking lot
Motorcycles for MPG?

Prices in Northern California are around $2.60 a gallon now....for regular. Premium is around $3.00!
Nah. don't ride to work very often. I use the train. I like to go out for a beer or two after work reasonably often (ie 3 days a week or more) and I never drink and ride, so most days the bike stays home. It's more of a weekend toy. Besides, I find the whole work clothes vs bike gear thing a pain in the arse.

love to ride in..
I love the ride in. Something just makes my whole day brighter by taking the bike. Between seasonal affective disorder (not officially diagnosed but definitley notice a difference in the winter) and bike withdrawal. This last winter was miserable because of it!!
Yeah, I dont ride for the mileage tho the difference is significant.
The ride home is usually even more therapeutic than the ride in. Working in the retail field is on its good days aggravating. That ride home can be upwards of 40 minutes and its effect on my mood by the time I would get home is amazing!!!

I STILL commute to work on the R. I do it for my mind not my wallet. I mean how else can you have fun going to work. Well I do have a 100 mile round trip each day.
