I have a little 49cc 4/stroke water cooled Honda Ruckus (99 MPG) scooter I use for those kind of trips. Probably wouldn't work in the mountains though.

There is one bridge here that I can only get up to 15 mph on this little thing. Going down the other side is fun though :-)

On a flat surface with a good tail wind I can hit about 48 MPH.

But unlike my big motorcycles, you can set like a case of beer and maybe 2 bags of ice on the floorboard, plus more shit under the seat.

I know it's paid for itself in gas already versus if i drove one of our cars our trucks for these little trips.

Sometimes I can go a whole week without driving a 4 wheel vehicle.

But then again I have most everything I need within a few miles of home.
