Gas Mileage Math Anyone?

Alright kids let's do some math shall we?

You're average car has a 15 gallon gas tank and gets around 20 miles a gallon.
20 x 15 = 300

Right now the average gallon of gas is at $4.00

$4 x 15 = $60

$60 to go 300 miles.

My moped get's 100 mpg, and has a 1 gallon fuel tank.

To get the same result of 300 miles, like a car I would fill 3 times, and spend $12

Jealous?

amount of people that can fit in my car 5

amount of people that can fit on your moped 1 maybe two

my car gets about 25 mpg so i can get 5 people 300 miles on one tank right?

you can get one or two if your lucky 100 miles.

notice these people in my car can be ladies. so amount of ladies for tinga 4

amount of ladies for mr moped. 0 maybe one ugly one.

didn't you already make a thread about your moped? and can you carry 4 surfboards and 3 friends on a moped?

You could make it even simpler too...

Amount of money for 300 miles for average auto:
$60 for 5 passengers

Amount of money for 300 miles for average moped:
$12 for 1 passenger

For an accurate comparison, $12 x 5 = $60.

Same price, go figure. Except that I drive a WRX so cool factor is also a million times higher. I'd take my car, personally.

It really only works if you drive alone alot, like i do to work and class. I drive like 100 miles a week or so, so instead of 20-30 bucks in gas with my car, im spending 4 dollars with my moped. Should save me a nice amount of money.

That was awful, nice try. I laugh at people who say mopeds are gay because there is like a 90% chance they have never ridden one before, they think it looks "gay" so therefor to them its "gay", ignorant morons.

anywhere you can go on a moped you can go on a bike which is not only less lame, it doesn't use gas. Why would you ride a moped?

the moped has one pupose and one purpose only, to drive ur ass around in the summer, mainly to work and back, there fun but very pointless, as for the gay factor unless ur driving a vespa or some other gay shit then its gay, go get a yamaha or suzuki much manly-er
