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.
