I pulled up next to a scooter guy a couple of weeks ago - his scooter was pretty old and he was in his twenties, so I figured he was a mpg enthusiast. I was engine off at a stoplight so I rolled down the window and said, "hey, what mileage do you get in that thing?" He told me about 70 miles on its one gallon tank. I replied, "Awesome." He said it got up to about 30 mph or so. When the light turned green, he got a 3-step running start (it was uphill) and was on his way.

I already knew he got at least 60 mpg before I rolled down the window, but I wanted to be friendly and share a smile since he was doing something positive about saving fuel for everyone. I don't see why everyone else doesn't share the sentiment.
