i drive around 2000mi/month the difference between 23mpg wrx and 55mpg ex500 (around the same mpg as a hybrid car) is around $167usd/mo, given $3.30/gallon for 93 octane that both vehicles use.. absolute values per month are $287usd for wrx and $120usd for the bike, assuming both are used for the full 2000mi.

$167/mo is not enough of a 'payback' to drive a car that does 0-60 in 10s, not to mention said vehicle costs MORE upfront

maybe if fuel was $6/gallon and i drove 3000mi/mo it would make more sense?

quoted as a very good point.....
