Bikes will always get better mileage than basically any other gas powered vehicle with maybe the sole exception of trains. If memory serves right Germany was still using motorcycles right till the end of WW2 after a everything else ran out of fuel.
Idk just seems weird for anyone to want a gas guzzler when better shit is available especially when you don’t need it for anything else. Hell with how shit modern cars are and how expensive they are on top of that you could probably pay someone to build you a car if you supplied the frame for cheaper.
Yeah I forget that the internal combustion engine is so old my last first generation American family member was still alive, mind you he was ancient even by modern standards but still. Ya kinda get used to tech advancing massively over time if not in form then in function that it’s easy to forget that’s not universally applicable, after all my Kbar isn’t too different from a neolithic stone knife you could give it to a living Otzi and he’d know what it is.
My 20 year old moped gets better mileage than a modern 18-wheeler
Yeah, well my EV gets INFINITE gas mileage!

With how shit modern cars are? AFAIK they last longer than ever
Used to be hitting 100,000 miles was rare, or at least a sign of old age.
Although really I was just commenting on the weird “wtf, much smaller older car gets better gas mileage” comment as a crappy reply of my own

…?
Yeah I don’t know. I’ve been vaguely sick for the last few days and I think it broke my brain a bit.
