Higher gas prices — even a doubling of gas prices — won’t affect my riding. A few extra bucks to fill my tank isn’t going to change my life or jeopardize my retirement. Despite +35% higher energy costs this winter, I’ve not lowered my thermostat or hastened my morning showers.
For the folks that complain about higher energy prices, go out and buy yourself some shares of oil company stock so you can participate in the profits. You won’t come out even, but you’ll feel less like a victim.
My Altima gets close to 40 mpg on the freeway and my bikes beat that by about 20 mpg, but I haven’t been to the office in nearly two years (and will likely never return) so my non-leisure fuel consumption is fairly low.
