Bio or motorcycle
What do you guys think would be the better way to deal with the 4.19 and raising fuel cost? WVO Bio or a motorcycle. I know before long restruants will be selling thier WVO so the bio wont be as cheap as it is now. The problem with a motorcycle is all the other idiots on the roads. Plus I think my truck will hate me if I dont drive it everyday, I didnt drive it for 3 days one time and she stared at me weird everytime I walked by. lol.ThanksJohn

i plan on getting a bike as soon as i can afford it. i also need to learn to control my temper. my need for speed dramatically increases with anger. haha the downside to a bike is you cant drive it when it rains or even if you think it might rain. at least you dont have to deal with snow down in FL. but in the end its all about what you want.

I'm lucky that I have a friend who makes Bio & hooks me up pretty regular. I already have a bike so I ride it when ever I can & save the truck for when I need it. I waited to long to find this truck to get rid of it now.

I dont do a whole lot of highway driving so i dont think a gearvendors would doa lot of good for me. The only thing that makes me turn away form a bike is what Coon said. If i can find a few places to get WVO then i will do that but if not then ill get a bike but i will probaly get one anyhow. I just hate having to watch out for everyone else on the road.

Get the bike, it's fun and will help save miles off your truck. You still will have your truck so drive it on weekends or whenever you feel like it but a bike is great alternative to +$4 gallon diesel

I think that as prices go up you are going to see a lot more Bikes on the road. I've been riding for 15+ years & wouldn't trade my bike for the world. It's true you have to be more aware, but I've found it has made me a better driver as well. If you go the bike route, take a motorcycle safety course to learn the do's & don'ts.

I bought an old Honda Civic hatchback for $800 about a year and a half ago. That thing paid for itself in no time, even when taking the extra insurance into account. No, it's nowhere near as safe in an accident as your pickup, but safer than a motorcycle and it works rain or shine. It gets double the mileage of my PSD. Pretty cheap to maintain too, I got 4 new tires installed for less than $200 out the door.
