try to get that up to 70mpg and I will track that on (<A

<P><SPAN></SPAN> </P>
<P><SPAN> I had to make a trade-off in mpg to provide more help to
my clients and spend more time with them. Think of it this way, they say
that the materials in a 2000 sq ft home have the embodied energy equal to
1000's of gallons of gas (see <A
href="http://www.deconstructioninstitute.com/calc4.php">http://www.deconstructioninstitute.com/calc4.php</A>).
If I help these groups get started and 5 of them go on to deconstruct 100
buildings a year, even after accounting for the materials that are not saved,
the parts of the 500 buildings diverted could equal over 2,000,000
gallons of gas. Then and only then would I sleep soundly knowing that I
had made up for the 27-30 gallons of gas the scooter used. </SPAN></P>

bike, no? If anything a 250cc motorcycle gets better mileage than a
250 scooter due to better aerodynamics. I don't mean to be nit picky but
if the object is green transportation then isn't a low cc the measure of that,
a bicycle being the greenest at 0 cc? 250cc is better than 500cc I
guess. </P>

<P><SPAN>2000 mile scooter trip - I had hoped to use a 50cc at 100mpg, but
it would have meant skipping about half of the groups that I am trying to
provide free consulting to (due to the slow speed). I think by
definition 50cc bikes are 'mopeds'. </SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN>Trying to keep fuel consumption at $100 or less, and I am trying to
pin down the mpgs for this bike. I will be tracking that on my

scooters aren't what they used to be. I thought 50cc was the scooter class.
What is your anticipated fuel consumption for the trip? Are you returning by
scooter as well?<BR><BR>Reuben Deumling<BR><BR></DIV></DIV>
