Default You'd never buy a bike and ride it in traffic

If you wanna compare something to the Prius the Insight would be the

ps. Im getting 36mpg in the city with the Fit and 43 on on the

The new Fit looks pretty aggressive, unlike the Toyota that looks
cute.

Anyway, I'm so happy to see microcars in America, that I'd feel
tempted to try my luck with a bike once they the are predominant.

They are still dangerous to a bike but maybe we can both squeeze in
one lane.

****, that's _awful_. I get 40 round town in the wife's TDCi Galaxy, and
today I averaged 55mpg in it between Hull and Coventry (admittedly with
the cruise set at 65mph).
