i'm loose-loose, bike gets like 28-32mpg, and uses premium
car gets like 35 and uses cheap gas

i fill up every 2 days, cuz i ride about 45mi rd trip, and i get about 110mi to a tank.

so i total i use more time/money commuting on the bike. but only bikers understand why it's worth it.

I haven't measured the mileage on the Buell, at least not that I remember, but it and my car both take premium and my car gets maybe 28mpg combined if I'm not too aggressive.

I think I speak for everyone when I say this was high on my "don't need to know" list. Even though I think we all assumed.

Mine is averaging about 41 mpg. That's with no track days or agressive twisty riding (cause obviously there isn't any here).

Sucks this year I probably won't be able to commute much on it, or I'll have to pick up a KLR or the like, as construction around the lake makes travel with anything less than a 4x4 virtually impossible.
