We had a Nissan Sentra back in 1984 that got 40 mpg. 40 mpg is what my Prius driving friends say is about what they get, so where's the great advantage?

The thing about driving a bike is, I feel it's less dangerous than driving a micro car. The bike can go faster, stop faster, turn faster, and fit in tiny gaps. In my Sentra, I had none of this, and a weak body structure too.

I'd love to drive a tiny, efficient car, but not with moms in SUVs with kids and cell phones distracting her right behind me...
