Fuel consumption is actually not as bad as one would imagine. Sensible riding will normally return approximately 6L/100kms or about 40MPG which is still around twice as good as the average car in normal city driving. A modern four stroke scooter will do better, but certainly wonâ€™t do it as quickly. Runner 180 owners are the Ferrari drivers of the scooter world. Hate us if you like but you certainly wonâ€™t catch usâ€¦.run little rabbit.

Testing was carried out on 2003 model with 24,000 kms on the clock.
