Scooter Mileage Update

Miles per gallon update continued from: Scooting Along

I've been spending a considerable amount of time on my scooter lately. If there is any word that expresses my overall opinion of all things scooter related it would be "Awesome."

I was finally able to track my fuel economy on my 2007 Honda Metropolitan and I was elated with the results. (I had lost the ability to track my speed/distance for a few weeks because I melted the speedometer gear during some front brake adjustments.) My last tank of gas was the reason for my excitement over the efficiency of the scooter. Over the course of a week I traveled 132.2 miles and used up a meager 1.089 gallons of 87 octane petrol at a total cost of $3.79.

132.2 Miles Traveled / 1.089 Gallons of gas = Average of 121.4 Miles/Gallon. 

That brings my cost per mile to a sub $0.03 average.

Long story short.... I'm going to look at another scooter tonight so that I can have a matching pair.
