Yamaha Zuma - 123 MPG?
If you visit Yamaha's website and look at the details for a 2009 Yamaha Zuma, the company states that it can achieve mileage of 123mpg. If this is the case, everyone should get one of these!
Yamaha started building the Zuma, a 49cc gas powered motor scooter in 1997. They stopped producing them for 2006 and 2007 and returned to the market in 2008. Now I'm not sure if 123mpg is the maximum mileage that could be achieved only if a 100lb girl was riding it, with a strong tailwind, or if this is for real. I suppose if Yamaha states that it can get great mileage, they have the tests to prove it.
I have read reviews of the Yamaha Zuma from actual owners and they claim to get between 75 & 85mpg, which is still great.
I've been driving a fairly small car for the past few years now and it can only achieve about 40mpg, and a fill-up now costs about me $55. Imagine the joy of owning a Yamaha Zuma and pulling up to the gas station beside a huge SUV. You glance over at the numbers on their pump and you see $110,$111,$112 and so on. You begin filling your Yamaha Zuma and within a few seconds, you're done. A grand total of $6.10!!
Now's the time to jump on the motor scooter bandwagon. If the media are correct, the gas prices are only going to get worse and we'll start seeing more motor scooters on the road.
Here's a guy that just bought a Zuma and seems to be pretty happy with it!
