NORMAL WEEKDAY MOTORCYCLE COMMUTING DAY FUEL USED (estimated)
150,000 commuting motorcycles x 5 mi average commute distance x 2 (both ways) = 1,500,000 motorcycle commuting miles per day.
1,500,000 motorcycle commuting miles @ 50 mpg (avg) = 30,000 gallons per commuting day.
100,000,000 commuting passenger cars, light trucks and SUV's x 6 mi average commute distance x 2 (both ways) = 1,200,000,000 car, light truck and SUV commuting miles per day.
1,200,000,000 car, light truck and SUV commuting miles at 20 mpg (avg) = 60,000,000 gallons per day.
RIDE TO WORK DAY FUEL SAVINGS (estimated)
150,000 motorcycles use 30,000 gallons per normal commuting day x 2 (an estimated 150,000 added motorcycles on Ride to Work Day) = 60,000 gallons used by motorcycles on Ride to Work Day.
60,000 gallons used on Ride to Work Day - 30,000 gallons used by motorcycles on a normal commuting day = 30,000 additional gallons used by motorcycles on Ride to Work Day.
On Ride to Work Day, there are an estimated 150,000 additional Ride to Work Day commuting motorcycles and 150,000 less commuting car, light truck and SUV's.
A 6 mile (avg) commute x 2 (both ways) x 150,000 commuting car, light truck and SUV's = 1,800,000 car, light truck and SUV miles. 1,800,000 car, light truck and SUV miles / 20 mpg (avg) = 90,000 gallons.
90,000 less car, truck and SUV gallons - 30,000 more gallons used on Ride to Work Day = 60,000 less gallons of fuel used on Ride to Work Day.
IF EVERY WORK DAY WERE "RIDE TO WORK DAY", 60,000 GALLONS SAVED X 250 WORK DAYS = 15,000,000 LESS GALLONS USED PER YEAR.
