84 MPG American Made new car for $6,800

114. I used to have a 125 cc Buddy Scooter. About 4 1/2 ft. long and 4 ft high, weighed about 225 lbs.

Used it to commute 18 miles a day and do "during the week" shopping when gas would become hella-expensive.

I could fit six full bags of groceries (including boxes of cereal and a gallon of milk) and a half-bag (or a six-pack) at the commissary and still get home three miles away just fine. I had a "book rack" in the front that could fit one sturdy insulated frozen food bag or two stacked six-packs of soda, floor area for my purse and another bag, a 3 gallon trunk case (2 bags of groceries or a gallon of milk and one bag), under the seat storage (big enough for a full-face helmet or one and a half bag of groceries), and the passenger seat (which was great for up to two bags of boxed or canned goods).

The only requirement was to carry recycled bags (re-purposed plastic, insulated) and about half-a-dozen 12" and 14" bungee cords.

I would regularly transport $100 or so worth of fabric or craft items, or go shopping for gifts and bring home clothes from the cleaner on my little Buddy.

If it can fit in a cart or in a regular back seat, it can usually fit on a motor cycle or scooter, certainly on the vehicle in the OP.

It all depends on how well you can pack.
