Sure, but would you want to take it on the interstate? There are always tradeoffs. Some Vespa models claim 80-90 mpg, but have a 39 mph top speed. With an 80 mph top speed, the mpg drops to the 65 mpg range. (Not that I'd even want to try riding a Vespa at those speeds.) Vespa vs. Auto MPG, Save Gas, Green Travel, Vespa Scooters | Vespa USA
