Was talking with em yeu today...

Gas in Vietnam is 12,000vnd/liter, or $2.85/gal.

Monthly per capita income is $250/month.

Here in the US, monthly per capita income is $3,230 per month.

Unless I totally scrwed up my math, that works out to $36.82/gal.

Luckily for them Mopeds get better MPG than SUVs, so the total adjusted gas bill per month works out about even.

That's another thing I've been wondering... what kind of MPG do motos get?

For the bill to work out about even, they will be needed to get 277 mpg.

In 2004, average fuel economy for cars and light trucks was 20.8 mpg. Todays average price is $2.919/gal. That's $0.14 per mile.

$36.82 / 0.14 = 277

I saw an ad for a moped today that said 150 mpg. You need to factor in how much driving they do to. It's not a lot of miles in the average commute for someone in Vietnam but Americans commute 100s of miles every week and in many cases- every day.

Not to mention that a 35 - 50 CC isn't really designed for that sort of wear and tear. I'd use one in say, NYC but in LA? No way.

$3.31 for regular unleaded now here. I swear it was just $3.19 on Sunday. The warning light is on on my dash board and soon I will have to obey it. :(
