I gotcha. My point was, why would he bother buying a different vehicle if he already has one that has as good or better gas mileage than a scooter?

That's as logical as buying a brand new motorcycle to commute on to save money on gas. It is going to take a long ass time for the money you spent on the bike to be compensated for on saved gas $$.

How about, he should have bought a scooter in the first place? Man, he'd be getting 200mpg right now! Kinda like the Chevy Volt!!!

ok - that's what I was afraid of. That's kinda dumb... me personally, I like the ability to accellerate from a dipshit behind me not paying attention yacking on a cell phone/adjusting the radio/eating/putting on makeup/watching tv/texting/etc2
