right now I have 2 vehicles I drive
I have a 1999 dodge dakota extra cab truck which gets maybe 17 mpg
and the 2011 camaro rs v6 which i average maybe 22 mpg
both of these cars are killing me in gas right now
I also have a 98 harley softail custom which it gets around 40 mpg but to be honest commuting on it isnt the funnest thing in the world plus if it rains then i can get screwed on my ride home....
I am considering selling the harley and the dakota and buying something like a ford fiesta that gets close to 40 mpg that I can drive the wheels off of. the draw back is I wont have a truck which I sometimes do need. I surf and I know taking the surf board on a fiesta will be interesting as well as if i decide to go spearfishing because the scuba gear is alot. i have also thought about maybe a smaller truck like a nissan or toyota with a 4 cyl motor but the mileage will be maybe 25 mpg at best in any kind of truck.....
anyone have any ideas on this?
I will tell you this really sucks because had my house deal went through i would not even have to consider anything here

House still for sale? If so, then your situation is a temporary thing. Get a rainsuit and a pair of b*lls and actually ride your Harley.
I commute on my bike full time, my truck and SS are purely for pleasure.
