Last year I traded in my '97 Toyota RAV4 for a Corolla. On average I got 23mpg with it. The Corolla gets 35mpg or so.
Last September I got a slightly used Honda Reflex 250. I rode it to work today, and I've been out on the freeway a few times.
I figure that with gas prices the way they are here ($3.40 per gallon) I would be spending nearly $300 a month on gas with the RAV4. By getting the Corolla and the scooter I'm now paying less than half that, which is about the cost of the minimum monthly payment for the loan.
