I think I am going to ride my motorcycle a lot this summer. 45 to 54 mpg average (depending on how I ride) is much much better than the 17mpg average I get with my X.

Agreed. In France for example the price of gas is more than twice as in the USA (a lot of taxes on many things over there) and that sucks big time but on the other hand every time you go to the doctor you only pay $25 (which you get reimbursed afterward by the way) and university is basically free for any kid smart enough and motivated enough. There are pros and cons with each taxes/benefits systems and it is up to each civilized country to chose what suits their citizen the best.
