Getting serious about saving at the pump

Fly50

Over the weekend my wife and I made the decision to sell her car (car payment of $400/mo) and buy a Piaggio Fly50 scooter. I will drive the scooter and she will start driving my Scion. Why a scooter? Well, it averages 70 miles to the gallon and it only takes 2.5 gallons in a tank. This means you can fill it up for less than 10 bucks and ride 140 miles. And it’s a hell of a lot more fun than driving a car! In the winter and on rainy days we will have to commute, but that will still save us money. Plus I look really good in a bucket helmet and the beep beep horn is great for picking up chicks (just kidding honey). Fuzzy dice coming soon!

Oh yeah… the Fly50 comes with a 50 dollar gas card, which means our first 800 or so miles are free!
