Most GW guys get about 45?

My Valkyrie (a naked Gold Wing with six carbs) gets 28-33 MPG and seems resistant to most of the stuff I do to my truck.
Have any of you seen what really fuel-efficient cars go for these days? A junk yard Insight will set you back $3500 and then you’ll have to fix it. When people let go of these they are wrecks.
Mass-transit would require completely restructuring how people live. People are used to going where they want when they want to go there. It seems the mass transit goes only where it wants to go when it wants to go and in any case it goes slowly. Mass transit is an eighteenth century solution to the way cities were set up then. Mass transit would be nearly impossible given today’s diffuse land-use. I don’t think Americans want to accept any more regimentation than what they endure now.
Have you looked at natural gas prices lately? $12/DTh on the NYMEX this morning.

Some claim 50 but what the heck you get 26 mpg with a F-350 so 50 on a GW I guess follows.
Figure how much 100,000 btu's is for diesel and then 100,000 btu's is for natural gas. Tell me how you do!
