New Scooter!
Well I broke down and bought a new scooter today. I had researched all I could really, and trying to decide which one to get was starting to have a negative effect on my personality. It was driving my wife crazy. She can only take so much of my obsessing.
So I landed a Benelli Andretti m50. I thought it fitting that I buy an Italian-designed scooter, since the genesis of this obsession was my recent trip to Italy. I have only driven it the short distance from the dealership to my house. So far, I love it and it looks beautiful sitting in my driveway.

Sweet ride!
So fun factor aside - what's the mpg like?
How long will it take for it to pay for itself?

The manufacturer's specs say 75mpg. The dealer said 60-80. I guess it depends on how you drive it. My Saab gets 14mpg as a comparison. So currently 25¢/mile vs. the scooter's 5¢/mile. If I drive it to work every day, it saves me $70/month. At that rate, it will take 2 years of daily driving to pay for itself, assuming gas prices stay as they are today.
