Just curious, my ET2 gets 45 -50 mpg and I'm fine with that as I weigh 200lbs, the throttle is pinned most of the time, and it's a two stroke so it's a little thirstier than a four stroke. What are some folks getting with their more modern four strokes? Not the, "I go for two weeks on $5," stuff , but actual mpg. Most interested in 50cc and 150cc owners.

Not in you desired size range, but the last fill up for the 250 Super was 76+ mpg, mostly two up @ 30-50mph

And where, pray tell, do you manage to find ethanol-free gas?

We have one place that sells it on every side of the island. Nearest one to me less than 20 miles. There's one that i usually go to. Pass it when i go into Honolulu. You don't have any where you live? That sucks.

A quick calculation suggests that my MP3-500 is getting about 60mpg (US 50mpg) now that it's been run in. Mostly 30-50mph. Surprised how close it is to the smaller scoots.

Here is a way to check on others with an ET2. Or any other kind of scooter. go to fuelly.com, and browse vehicles.
http://www.fuelly.com/motorcycle/vespa/et2

you can also click on any of my scooters in the signature line and see what I am getting. I have 2 150's you can compare, or on that web link you can pick any kind of scooter, motorcycle, car, or truck. Happy browsing.

I use a little app on my phone called Gas Cubby. According to that, I get between 80-85 mpg. That seems high compared to others?

Got any marina's nearby? They usually have it.
Stations here call it clear gas.

We still have plenty of %100 gas out here in Oklahoma for now, but the ethanol is growing.
