Has the price of petro put a dent in your travel plans? Off set your
budget dramatically?http://news.yahoo.com/s/usatoday/20050822/bs_usatoday/gaspricesbringonnewwaystocutcorners
Was just reading about this guy here….
Gas prices cut into the vacation time this summer for Joe Skaggs and his wife, Angela – and they were on a Harley-Davidson. The California couple last year hit the road for 27 days, sticking to a budget of $100 a day. This year, they cut the trip to 14 days because their gas costs went from $25 to $40 a day.
“The hotel stayed the same. The food stayed the same,” says Joe, 36, a retired construction worker
Pardon the innoccuousness of my question…..how are those hogs on gas anyway? Anyne know how a HD does for consumption? Im curious and want to know.

Doesn’t that depend on which model?

Or how about just in a general sense? How does MPG
hiway driving on a hog compare with driving say,…a Honda Civic?Or maybe a Honda Goldwing beats a Harley for consumption, that type of thing…

My aprilia scarbeo 150 gets about 70-75 mpg. I try to use it almost exclusively for any in city commuting/errand running I do. Easy to park too :-D
