Re: [St] Stupid Nation and Gas Prices

["David Jonas" <kahonas@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use mine to make the commute to Knoxville from Chattanooga, TN
(95mi-ish) almost 3 times a week.  Much nicer on gas.  Takes about $15 to
fill my tank (at $3.15/gal 89 octane) vs $30 in my Miata (which gets about
30mpg).  Both get about the same range per tank (Miata wins out by about 20
miles or so.  Both are fun, but the bike is winning lately just because of
savings on fuel cost.

I am thinking about using my RS to commute sometimes this year once the
weather gets a bit drier here in the Great NorthWet. 50 mpg is better than
the average 25-26 in my Honda Prelude. Additionally, given that I own it, I
would not need any additional investment. Though it would have excess
performance and weight compared to a smaller bike, the difference in mileage
would make another investment even harder to justify. Besides, my dear,
sweet wife thinks a One Motorcycle Rule is a good idea. I never understood
it, but I love her anyway. ;-)
