Hello /n/ Has anyone noticed more motorcycles and scooters on the road since gas prices went up? Do you think people will go back to driving their gas hogs since the prices have come down a bit?

What part of "global oil supply is running out" don't you understand?

It's been running out since we started using it.

who said anything about the global oil supply? people's driving habits may change, merely according to the affordability of gasoline.

In many cases, I agree with you. The exception would be all the F150's, Rams, Silverado's & Humvees you see tooling down the road on the daily commute, with only the driver in them.

My Civic gets 34 mpg. My bike gets 53. I live by myself and never carry passengers, so the bike is what I take most of the time. Admittedly there are drawbacks to riding a bike instead of driving a car. Cars do like to try and hit bikers. Weather is sometimes a pain.
