    My Harley gets 45 MPG and for the difference in paying for a small scooter I can ride for a long ways. Can't ride to work anyway to many ladders and other equipment to carry.

    I was getting 46 on my Dyna but I just re-jetted because it was running a little lean and now I would expect it to drop to maybe 43 or so.

    My 1/2 ton Chevy gets 16-16.5 in town and 20-21 on the highway. Not the best but with ladders on the canopy roof rack and equipment and ladders in the back I can't complain. :)
