eh, i've been debating getting a second smaller car for a while now. use the forester when i have a gig or need to have more space.
mainly i want a car that can get great mileage on the interstate so i can go to fl more often.
Any plans for the up and coming gas pandemic?

I will probably just suck it up and eat the cost of the higher fuel. I live 35+ minutes from work, so there's no way I can walk lol. I would like a bike, but it won't get the kids to and from the sitter's house. There's no way in hell I'm tossing the Speed3 for something with better fuel economy. So yeah- eating the cost is about it for me. Yay!
CBR's gonna get you about 35 mpg.
I only got 20mpg on my last 600cc sport bike, but I ran it for all it was worth.
Stick with the Ninja 250 for awesome mileage.

I drive about 250-300 miles a month and get 19mpg's on the hwy. Any gas increase sucks though. Even with a 30+mpg Honda. I remember when I was 16 and gas dropped to $0.99/gallon for a week or two. But minimum wage was $4.25 at the time!
I bought some 87 for my 4Runner the other day in Nor-Cal $3.17/gallon

ahhh memories yeah I remember when it was .99 cents even got down to .88 cents a few times...memories
The Gixxer/Si combo isnt too bad at all for me. I can get a little over 40 on the bike so long as I behave more than not and warm-up times are kept to a minimum.
Only shitty part is that both need premium so the sticker shock will be there though I usually just pull up to the station, pump my gas, and get back on the road without caring to look.

Meh. Everyone needs to quit your bitching. Try ~$8/gal NORMALLY in Germany.
Bike for nice weather, hybrid for bad. They get about the same MPG.
Funny thing about this is that it coincides with talk about putting more ethanol in the gasoline. Corn price is pretty much pegged to gasoline anymore. The corn farmer makes more money, and suddenly our economy is ranked as stronger. All the while, other countries are going "What the fuck did we do by putting 10% ethanol in our fuel?" and now they're going to mix only 5% ethanol into their superior gasoline. Germany is going to offer E5 soon, because it produces less CO2 per liter than E10 after you factor brewing, blending, and burning -- lol. So much for the "carbon neutral" standpoint...
So, everyone, prepare for corn to cost more, along with your gasoline. Suck it up and pay for it. If you're really worried, start saving money now to absorb the spikes in price.

Well, 35mpg is better than my 25-27... I could probably do better if I kept my foot out of it on the interstate... But I don't see that happening. You are right though- the Ninja 250 would serve the purpose very well.
