$3.35 Reg. last night at a Pilot in Cocoa ($3.40 in my area). What is the cheap price in Hilo currently? Even at these prices I rarely use my truck due to cost.
Weather permitting, I'll use one of my bikes at 50+ MPG. I do ride in misty type rain or intermittent rain often, which seems to be the most common type in Puna (exceptions of course). I'd like to think I could use the same routine in Puna.
Due to the rain belt you'd be passing through from Volcano to Hilo, I wonder how feasible that commute on a bike would be? You wouldn't have the protection of a big sport tourer or speed to keep you dry. You wouldn't have the speed (works best at 70+) for the big bike's fairing to create a dry air bubble and I don't think such big bikes would make much since or be much fun on the island roads.
Sat. morning musings.
