I bought a small scooter to commute to work. My car gets about 30mpg, the scooter gets 100....My scooter was dirt cheap, $350.

I'd like a similar scooter but I'd be road kill within a minute of leaving my street.

If you have kids in car seats, scooters aren’t much of an option. Then again, it rules out the train, too.

I'm only on a busy road for .3 mile each way. I stay as far over as I can so cars can pass me and I try to make it so I don't have any cars at all around me. The scooter is 49cc and if my commute was 3 miles instead of .3 I'd probably have a life expectancy of less than a year. I won't even use it to go to the store that's about a mile away.
