You're petrol powered cars cant do 180 miles on a tank of fuel? Either they are very uneconomical or have thimbles for tanks
My 2l mx5 gets over 300 miles to a tank and thats not exactly economical with its motion potion
A decent set of grips is thems, I used them on my courier bike in 2012, couple them with bar muffs and you don't need gloves even in the coldest crappest weather, but id never advocate riding without wearing gloves
