Moped question?

Question

I recently purchased a moped($1,300 cash) to use as transportation to and from work. People snicker but I get great gas mileage. It is a 150cc engine, capable of doing 70 MPH(I've had it up to 60) but the speed limit is 35 MPH on the road I take in to work, so it has more than enough ability to do what I need it to do. I work and live on a military installation and I drive about 40 miles per day for work related tasks when I use my SUV. As you can imagine, this is not cheap as my SUV(which I use when I haul my boat and go hunting). My SUV gets 15-18 MPG in the city and costs $70 to fill. The moped costs $4.22 to fill and it gets 85-100 MPG. How long do you think it will take for the vehicle to pay for itself?
