Mama's got a new set of wheels!

I am going to beg the indulgence of the community...and giggle, grin, and boast a bit here!

My commute to work is 2 1/2 miles. Mr. Cat has a 2 mile commute.

I've looked at bicycles but the last bit of the ride is a very, very steep hill. Now I have been driving a 1998 Saturn that gets pretty good gas mileage...26 city and 28 or so highway. Yet, I felt I could do more to save gas and be more efficient in my mini-commute. Well, Mr. Cat and I did the math on mileage, gas costs, and other costs of ownership.

Mr. Cat did some preliminary checking, he did the online reviews analysis, and we just took delivery of:

His and Hers Scooters!

Yep...Scooters!

I did the math on my 2 1/2 mile commute (5 round trip) and the Northern CA gas prices of $3.59+ for unleaded. This will pay for itself in under 3 years of regular riding!

Mr. Cat drives a diesel 3/4 ton pickup truck that gets 6-10 miles per gallon city. His scooter will get 70 or so mpg (reality per sales guy...not the 80+ advertised). And diesel locally is $4.29 to $4.39 a gallon!

We get to have fun...reduce our carbon imprint...and save money!
See you on city streets! We sure aren't going to ride them anywhere else.
