actually if you can get a late-1990-ish 90-100cc 2T japanese scooter like Honda Lead 90 or Suzuki Address 100, or even later Yamaha Neos / MBK Ovetto 100cc of 2005-ish vintage this whole discussion about ranges and fuel consumptions becomes pointless.

because those have had fuel consumption of like 2-3L per 100km. with fuel tanks of about 6L you had all the range for errands you could possibly need.

and they were capable of moving two persons around _and_ moving a ton of grocery, or something like an ironing board.

hell, in 2000s we were doing 700km trips on them.



Small 2-stroke engines tend to be worse for pollution emissions (NOx, particulates) despite generally good fuel efficiency.


well, yes, I like the smell of 2T exhaust in the morning.

still, even my yamaha majesty 250 of 1992 (4HC-edit) only ate 3.5L/100km despite hauling thrice the mass of that same ovetto.


Of course you do. As long as someone else pays for cleaning up after you. There have always been leeches in the world.


your comment reminds me of a rant by a severely clueless person who insisted that we must conserve water despite living on an island in a middle of a second largest european reservoir.

which is utterly pointless.


Of course it does. When you apply zero thought to anything you can always find false equivalence.
