What did adding a scooter do to my overall MPG?
6 days and I traveled a total of 540.7 miles (302.1 in Jeep CRD and 238.6 on Lambretta 50cc) in two vehicles. The Jeep gets about 21.5mpg and the Lambretta gets about 119.4mpg.

The new overall average is ~31.35mpg...that is ~ a 46% increase in overall FE. Saved me $29.40 in fuel costs.

As I get my routine down better, I think I can make the Lambretta do most of the miles and increase the "overall FE".

***120 miles on the Jeep was a camping trip***

A neat feature or way to use the calculator in the Garage. Just put both together as a "Combo Vehicle" to get my "Overall FE". Sure makes it easy to keep track of.
