Better MPG

Bear Chow · 05-07-2008, 10:55 AM

Bare with me a minute.

I saw a rail buggy on the road, and I thought to myself,

"Self I wonder what kind of gas milage that gets. No real weight, It's mostly tubing the aerodynamics can't be terrible. That would make a cool commuter car for the summar."

So does anyone know what kind of MPG they get? My other alternative is a motorcycle. I can get 45-65 depending on throttle control. But I loose the abuility to carry any kids. (That's a wife says so clause, at least not on a regular basis).

So the questions

MPG?
Can it take the abuse of a daily driver?
Can it handle a sustained 65 mph Country highways not interstates?
Is insurance outrages for these?
What am I missing, besides weather issues?

Thanks

Paul
