There's something wholly satisfying about giving the gas attendant $2, filling up your vehicle with the highest quality gas, and having to go back in and get your change. The scooter gets over 100 MPG, and I use it frequently for short shopping trips, trips to the bank, the video store, etc. It holds 2 gallons, but that's optimistic at best. However, I routinely travel 125-150 miles between refills. $1.70 refills, that is.
