I just quit my sales job. Since jan 1, I have racked up $1,600 in mileage w few sales.

My son drives all over Idaho doing broker price opinions and inspecting properties. The rising gas prices are going to hit him as there is no component of his compensation that is indexed to transportation costs. He makes a fixed fee for writing the broker price opinion without any consideration to the cost of gathering the supporting data.

I ride a motorcycle to work except when it rains. Better gas mileage, lower insurance and better maneuverability through heavy San Diego traffic. My F150 is present for rainy days (all this week) and for making the long distance trips home to Idaho. The bike goes with me on a trailer that is stored in the garage at the place where I rent a room.

I currently have my 2009 Kawasaki Versys in San Diego. 42 MPG city/53 MPG freeway. The F150 is getting about 15 MPG right now.
