Vespa Mileage

I’d never thought I’d love the Vespa as much as Adam especially when he would spend hours on the weekends trying to make the thing work.  But I do!  Not for the same reasons. (Sorry, Dear.) For purely financial reason, that’s been a great investment.

So I did the cost analysis on the scooter vs the Scion for Adam’s work commute. The Scion is getting about28 miles per gallon.  Adam says the Vespa is getting about 50 miles per gallon.  Theoretically, in a months time, the Scion would used around $54 while the Vespa would use $8.  The Vespa is using more like $15/month.  That’s still $39 we’re saving in gas each month.
