Gas prices, Harleys and vacationing

[Anonymous]

Has the price of petro put a dent in your travel plans? Off set your
budget dramatically?

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
