As an homage to our total committed to two-seaters, Debbie decided that she'd like to commute to work via two-seater both for the pure pleasure of it and, yes, better fuel economy. So, while the Honda S2000 replacement cannot haul a tandem, it does get upwards of 25 mpg and makes Debbie smile just as she does on all the other two-seaters in the stable, motorized and pedal-powered.

So, while the Suburban/tandem hauler remains in the fleet, it also remains in the garage most of the time as Debbie and I now each have Hondas for our respective 12 mi commutes: both are two-seaters, hers just has four wheels and a top whereas mine has just two wheels and the sky above.

She claims its a mid-life crisis thing but I ain't buyin' it.

25mpg in a two seater...very impressive.
