How Economical is My Scooter?

Lately people have been asking me about how economical my scooter is. Here are some pretty solid numbers about my scooter. I have put 7000 miles on the scooter since I bought it in July of 2006. Here are the calculations. I use $3 because that is the average of what I paid for a gallon of gas sometimes $2, sometimes $4.

My scooter gets 100 MPG:

7000 Miles
100 MPG = 70 Gallons
$3.00 * 70
________________
Cost… $210


If your car gets 25 MPG:

The same 7000 Miles
25 MPG = 280 Gallons of Gas
$3.00 * 280

Cost... $840


Also, in Colorado, a 49cc scooter does not require a motorcycle license or insurance. The registration is $7 for 3 years.
