As I just posted in another thread ... my GSX 1400 and my Golf 1.9 TDI get about the same mileage. After 300km (around 185 miles), both have burned between 18 and 20 litres (around 5 gallons). The only difference is that diesel is about 30 cents per gallon more expensive here, so the bike is a bit cheaper.

(Of course, when calculating full cost with maintenance and insurance, I'm sure that my 5 year old Golf is much cheaper in the long run).
