Are scooters viable for high milage vehicle?

Maximum MPG with streamlined fairing, 70 mph.

Does anyone have recommendations for suitable scooter?

Pros:
Nonrestrictive frame allowing for smaller fairing.
Engine does not get in the way of legs being close together.
No foot controls to bother with
Small wheels easier to streamline

Cons:
CVT gearing can't be changed RPM can't be reduced?
Heavier than manual motorcycle
Small wheels higher rolling resistance and bumpier ride
