Default Motorcycling/tricycling for fuel savings

Anyone know much about this subject? I googled but didn't get too many informative links.

Here's my situation. . .I sporadically moonlight at a hospital 26 miles away. Well. . .as you all know a gallon of gas is around $3.30/gallon now. . .so roundtrip, that's over a $7.00 loss before getting to work. Okay, not bad, as i Know some who commute 100 miles to work but nonetheless. . .it's an easy drive. It takes 40 minutes by day and 35 minutes at night to make the commute.

It's through the backwoods of S. Jersey (pine barrens) so for the most part, it's an easy drive.

I feel like often I could motorcycle the distance (weather permitting) but the cost of medical bills outweighs the benefits of fuel savings.

Is motorized tricycling an alternative? Is it any safer? Or is it just for old women who want to pedal around a retirement village with a basket of flowers?

Any cyclers out there?
