Well, I've been reading on how gas companies r using accounting policies to lower their income so that the government won't get to their asses. Back in 1970, the governement placed a huge tax on gas companies cuz their income is thru the roof. The same thing happened in 1990. So wut I'm saying is that gas companies r still making a shit load even tho their financial statements may suggest otherwise.

its nicer on the environment to produce ( IE from corn ) but it produces less energy when combusting

Exactly, you changed your lifestyle by riding a bike to reduce your bill on fuel.

A person can afford a CLK/insurance/fuel/rent/food with a 17/hr job....i know i did when i first started out...you change your lifestyle to better suit your needs. (work more hours, spend less money on mods and commute by bus/bike etc.)
Everything is possible by being smart with money...its not impossible.

Majority of people who are complaining on RS are kids who don't think twice before putting on a useless modifications. Fart cans, intakes, ugly coloured rims and obnoxious blinding HIDs cost money, that money should be put to their fuel consumption.

bottom line, if you cant afford it, dont buy it.
