[QUOTE="N4HHE, post: 1311530, member: 89143"] Back when gas was $1.75 I figured 40 mpg GL1800 was about same cost to operate as Toyota Avalon at 25 mpg. Insurance, tires, gasoline. Tire cost was pretty high for Goldwing. 10 minutes to suit up for a 25 minute ride is not a good use of time for anything but the joy of it. Then 40,000 miles of Prius tire cost same as 12,000 miles of Goldwing tires, plus poorer mpg was last nail in the commuting coffin. Am getting 48 mpg on FJR. And tires cost less than the old Goldwing. [/QUOTE]
