scooters among us
Well ever since Joe got his scooter, it has started to make me consider one. So I did the calculations to see if I could purchase one for nothing. Well now that I have your attention I have calculated a scooter that costs $2350 and financed @ $40/mon. My truck gets around 24mpg and a scooter will get 75mpg. To get the scooter for free I have to drive it enough to offset the gas that it costs to put in my S10.
truck scooter
mpg 24 75
cost of gas/gall $2.79 $2.99
cost / mile $0.12 $0.04
miles driven / year 12000
cost / year $1,395.00
total cost savings /year of: miles driven / year 5500 6500
cost / year $639.38 $259.13 $898.51 $496.49
savings / mon financed 2500 @ 40/mon months financed
$41.37 $40 62.5
I would have to drive the scooter an average of 125 miles per week for the scooter to pay for itself.
