Many scooter buyers, and especially those using their vehicles for daily commuting, are interested in fuel efficiency. The increase on engine displacement of the Aprilia STX 160 claims it could be better on performance than smaller scooters. But the issue is its fuel consumption. There are some riders claiming impressive mileage figures while others find the scooter thirstier than they expected. In this segment, performance vs. efficiency balance is especially important because many buyers want the best of both worlds. How far you drive per gallon of gas (real world fuel economy) depends on factors such as your riding style, traffic conditions, and vehicle maintenance. Knowing how the STX 160 manages to blend its sporty character with fuel efficiency will help potential buyers to decide whether the STX 160 fits their bill for both performance and economy.
