Save Money Commuting by Motorcycle? Not So Fast!

Based only on gas prices, I figured it last year when everyone kept saying this... I would save $8 per every 300 miles by riding my bike instead of driving my car. Now that I have a new car, requiring 93 octane, riding the bike is a little more less expensive than with my old car.

I don't care. I buy the vehicles I have because I want them. I ride because I want to ride, not because it is cheaper. If that were the case I would have kept my 250 that got 70mpg on 89 octane.
