Gas, no, not that kind of gas

So with gas prices looking like they are lately my GT Avalanche is looking better all the time. I also started looking online at (don't laugh) motorized street legal scooters. I was checking out a few, looking at how much trouble some would be to register at the local DMV, how many miles per gallon they got (some claimed 75 to 80), etc. Of course the more I looked the more I realized two things: 1. I have a mountain bike that can get me across town and back, and 2. I would probably get laughed at for riding a scooter. Why did I write all of this? I dunno, because it is late and I can.
