With the cost of gasoline skyrocketing to all time highs, fuel economy is on the minds of all Americans. Scooters offer a very practical solution to average fuel consumption issues. When you are out for a drive notice how many large vehicles occupy our roadways these days. Also notice how frequently these large vehicles are occupied by a single individual. While scooters are not practical for out-of-town travel or for transporting more than two individuals at a time, they are wonderful money savers when it comes to running many in-town errands.

How often do you run from one store to another simply to pick up an item or two? Have you ever figured out how much money you are wasting by using your automobile when a scooter could offer you the same transportation for much much less. Another interesting fact about scooters is that they actually offer the rider quite a bit of storage area. The seat offer ample room for several items and many scooters come equipped with hooks that allow you to hang plastic shopping bags. Another option is saddle bags over the seat which allows you to have increased storage room.

Even the most economic of cars offers only 28 to 34 mpg in-town. Scooters offer between 60 and 80 mpg while running on high octane gasoline. The few pennies of extra cost for the premium gasoline is more than made up for with the excellent gas mileage. Another important fact is that scooter, while burning much less gasoline, are contributing minimally to pollution and helping to conserve our natural resources.

Before you hop into your SUV to drive across town to run errands, consider the scooter alternative and help contribute to decreasing pollution and decreasing your out-of-pocket gasoline expenses.
