With the rise in gas prices fuel efficiency is becoming more important to most of us. My main source of around town transportation is my Kymco Like 150i. I normally get around 70 MPG although I have found that when ridden slow enough I can get around 100MPG. I can't safely ride that slow around here so I get 70 MPG and occasionally 80. That's riding mostly at speed of 45 to 55 MPH. Sometimes I think about getting a more fuel efficient small bike. There are some small scooters like the Honda PCX that are known to be able to get 100+MPG. The small mini motos like the Grom and Super Cub get even better mileage but they are not nearly as practical as a commuter bike for me due to lack of storage. I like to be able to stash my helmet and riding gear under the seat & in the tail box and walk away. I can also pick up quite a bit of groceries and haul them home. Still, the idea of getting 130 or so MPG is tempting.
So, for those of you who commute on your bikes, what kind of bike, how many MPG's and at what speeds?
Are any of you considering getting a more fuel efficient commuter bike?
