Motorcycle sales are going up rapidly. I went to both a Honda and Kawasaki dealer and the sales guys asked me if I was looking save on gas. We chuckled and talked a bit at Kawa dealer, but it seems the entry level motorcycles are selling VERY well getting over 50 mpg. I was of course looking at sport bikes. Funny you mention mopeds.

Also, the rise in fuel prices is especially bad for poor people. It's also quite bad for American automakers who have been unable to keep up with the fuel efficient engines and transmission of Japan and Germany. Oh and lastly, a whole bunch of airlines are going to go out of business. The end result is that the US will become more like Europe and everyone is going to have a hatchback instead of an SUV.
