My wife's car = 25 mpg, my truck = 20 mpg, our RE = 68.5 mpg, our Honda 250 = 75 mpg, Honda 90 = 100 mpg. All per U.S. gal. I'm now looking for a cheap used scooter 125 cc or under to use for short runs to the store and running errands. I intend to outfit it with as many baskets and bags as I safely can. I don't like using any of our vehicles unless I go at least 10 miles. IMHO, its the short runs that give poor mileage and doesn't heat the oil long enough to burn off moisture. With an old cheap scooter, who cares? IMHO some of us Americans have been spoiled by low gas prices and have been lead into buying what the auto makers want us to buy. The bigger and more complacated, the better. For them, not us.
