i've got a yamaha zuma, 95 mpg.

has 3000 miles on it (1000 of which are my own) and i drive it all summer long. You would be amazed that it takes me the same, if not less time to get to my destination.

in fact i spent last weekend tearing apart the carb and re-jetting it so that its ready to go for the summer..... runs like a top

i drive 15-18 miles every day and i plan on starting to drive the Zuma wednesday
Great little toy, and for very little $ you can up the speed a lot. (i plan on installing a different clutch, new jets, new intake and maybe changing out the gearing- which should put me at about 45 mph top speed)

i really recommend one, (as long as you dont have much pride left). Mine has a stereo system and security system as well. the security is mostly to make people laugh, and the stereo provides great entertainment as well.
