[QUOTE]Originally posted by losbadgts: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by theconductor: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by wilit: [qb] I've been following Elio for a while. I think their 84mpg estimate is VERY optimistic. Most motorcycles average 45mpg and they have a lot less weight, drag and rolling resistance. Hell, Ninja 250's barely touch 70mpg. [/qb][/QUOTE]Probably not less drag than a bike, unless you're tucked the entire time. While it is most likely very optimistic like you said, the Geo metro was getting nearly 50 mpg twenty years ago. A modern version of that motor, plus a lighter and more aerodynamic vehicle could get pretty damn good mileage... [/qb][/QUOTE]cant wait if they actually build it to get it. Shit i will be happy with 65 to 70 mpg. My current commuter gets 50mpg and im super happy with that. [/QB][/QUOTE]
