Carlight by the Gallon
When I think of driving, I remember the tank is a quarter full. I would need gas first, and there's only $10 in my wallet, so then an ATM stop, before I start driving to somewhere I was too lazy to reach by bike.

I have no idea how much is in the tank... I haven't filled it since August or September 2014.
If I've put a bit over 1000 miles on my bike so far this year, mostly commuting & errands. At 20 MPG, that translates to the equivalence of a 50 gallon drum full of fuel, probably a bit more since I don't think I quite hit 20 MPG... need to get my Rabbit put back together

My last tank of gas (36L) got me 880Kms, that's 4.0L/100Km... The computer told me that I drove 30% of those 880Kms in E-mode, that's 264Kms totally gas free, or 20.8 miles free for every gallon yea hoo... Oh I also rode my bike for 573Kms...
EDIT; For you guys south of the border that's 550miles from 9.5 gallons, 57.9MPG 165 miles free from gas use or 17.4 miles free for every gallon of gas used. and 358 miles of bike riding...
EDIT 2; Yea... I just realized that over 1/2 of the miles I traveled used no gas... 57.59% actually.
EDIT 3; Just to put things into perspective, the vehicle I drove 2 years ago was my 3/4 ton 4X4 diesel truck and I suspect 99% of all my total miles traveled was using fuel... To go 550 miles it would use 33.7 gallons of fuel at 16.3MPG.
