That said, certain motorcycles have limitations as commuters. Some are too powerful and uncomfortable for slow-moving traffic or neglected street surfaces.

Many efficiency-focused gasoline cars and some hybrids have achieved stellar window-sticker fuel-economy ratings, only to fall short in the real world. Diesel cars may keep a lower profile than hybrids or battery-electrics, but they’re a good option for drivers looking to reliably save fuel. Diesels generally don’t have that problem.
