Just wanted to add that motorcycles - because of frontal areas - just do not significantly improve MPG. Granted my bike, a Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe, is made for touring and is very heavy, it consistently gets worse mileage than my VW diesel Beetle. On a highway trip last summer to Colorado, Arizona, etc., the bike averaged 41.344 mpg; on the open road like that, the VW would've averaged between 47 and 50. I guess small displacement scooters might has outstanding mpg, but not large road bikes.
