mine is used for half of my commute to and from my civilian employer as well as for errands, unfortunately my civilian employer supplied work vehicle runs on diesel and gets about 7 mpg,however I put on 10k miles in just 1 season on my scooter, until I got hurt at my other employer (the not so good at taking care of their injured USARMY reserve) still trying to get injuries treated (7 damaged discs between my back and neck, 3 are bulging, 3 are herniated, and 1 is desiccated) forcing me to sell all the toys to pay the medical bills including my fleet of classic cars, classic trucks, scooters, atvs, boats, and other toys I restored/built. I have put 2k miles on this year just shuttling between doctors appointments/ medical treatments, filing medical paperwork to get treatment, and the only thing that kept me out of bankruptcy was my scooter's fuel efficiency (my pickup truck gets 14 mpg no matter what on diesel). my little 50cc scooter that is bored, stroked, head ported and polished, regeared, and had the transmission modified to handle the power still gets 115 mpg (If I baby the throttle LOL) it literally has paid for itself several times over in fuel savings alone.
