Will Holoman: Fuel economy boost
Will Holoman: Fuel economy boost
Will Holomon says his 600cc motorcycle gets nearly triple the gas mileage that his sports car did.
Engineer, 39, Irvine, Calif.

Premium gas in Southern California is over $4 a gallon now. Seeing this coming, I sold my gas guzzling sports car in January and bought a 600cc motorcycle for my 22-mile commute each day.

The bike gets 44 miles per gallon -- nearly triple the car's mileage. My commute has also been transformed from drudgery to incredible fun!

Economical transportation is available now -- one only needs to be open to new possibilities.
