It is getting that way. I am riding my LR to work every day I can.

My car gets better mileage than the bike on the highway, but it's pretty much a wash, Diesel vs. high test...

Mercedes GLK250. It's got a 2.1L Diesel (same as a lot of the Sprinter vans) and easily cracks 40 mpg on the highway. Lifetime average is 31 mpg.

(And tons of torque!)

Sweet...a friend of mine has an LT1 Camaro. This is my one owner 1994 "Brickyard 400" Corvette, which is going into the shop today for some electrical issues...hope it's just a battery. Bought it in Indianapolis April 1, 1995. Rusty Wallace was paraded around the track in pre-race ceremonies, and the winner, Jeff Gordon, was paraded around the track in post-race ceremonies...
