Saving on gas, car & scooter?!?
So i'm watchin superbikes on the speed channel. and i started thinking about buying a scooter to save on gas?
what if i bought a honda ruckus? would the amount i save on gas pay for itself?
ok my sc3/1jz has approx~ 16gallon tank. it gets on average about 20mpg. 320miles tops on a full tank in a given week.
the ruckus has a 1.3 gallon tank info, and should get approx~ 90mpg info
so heres is what i worked out in excel.
so if i buy a brand spanking new honda ruckus, right off the lot for say $2500 OTD. if i drive it every other day instead of my car. the amount i would save on gas woud more than pay for itself within a year.
thats an investment right there.
CLIFFS:
ride a scooter every other day would save $2,676.91. Scooter cost = $2500
is that math right?
