BF2S Forums Barrel of Oil = $140

I totally agree.

Best time to go get a motorcycle would be now.

I bought a harley nightster.  So much more fun than a car...  More people should ride.

How much more fuel efficient are bikes compared to cars? Obviously I'm aware that there are some cars that are great and some bikes that do terribly, but what kind of MPG do you get out of it?

EDIT: Spit, I think you'd care for a lot more reasons than that people would stop driving were it $2k a barrel.

The whole oil thing is blatantly a political sell out to the rich that use oil to keep their wealth and control over the world.

That's why voting for O'bama or McClain is dumbest thing anyone can do.

dude...lol

Electric vehicles are not ecnomically viable for comparable range performance. For that you need nice lithium ion batteries, and while those are far superior in every way, they are too hard to justify for anyone but an enthusiast. The lead acid batteries that are much much cheaper don't give a significant enough range for anything but daily tasks around the city. While that is a good step, you will be hard pressed to find people (particularly those without family) to buy a whole car that doesn't have enough range to get out of the city. Until car manufacturers start making electric cars again (they're just as much a part of the conspiracy, good luck) to drive prices down and increase infrastructure for them, the electric car is not for most people.

Compressed air? lol, seriously. They have the same problem with hydrogen vehicles, they can't get the compression high enough to make it viable. There is a much better chance going with electric vehicles, it's much more straight forward.

But you think the changes necessary to switch to nuclear power could happen overnight. Jesus...the magnitude of that miscalculation is astounding. You know better than that.

I get 49 to the gallon.. And I get on it! I'd probably average closer to 55 if I didn't open it up after every light.
Plus she's pretty.

Whenever prices rise quickly on commodities, real estate and stocks, it always feels like it will never stop - that's why so many amateur investors get burned when they buy at the top of markets - but, market economics take over at some point and prices fall.

Oh yeah, put in place over night. Smart statement.

Does it have a 4 gallon tank? I plan to get a motorcycle because its the easiest way to save fuel and its a great way to go to work or school. Also do things that cars cant do

She has a 3.3 gallon tank.  Other bikes do come with larger tanks.
