I don't know why some are obsessed with eeking out an extra mile or two per gal when you are already getting 70 or 80.

If you lived in a hilly area like I do you would not be wanting to let your scooter free wheel in neutral. Going down a hill and having your clutch kick out because of low rpms or an engine die is a scarey thing. All of a sudden your scooter is picking up speed just like the throttle stuck wide open! The beauty of a cvt is you have almost total control of speeds with the throttle with out having to touch the brakes.

At the current price of gas the difference between 70 and 80 mpg is 6/10 of one cent per mile, I would rather have my scooter run right than go for extra miles per gallon.
