With gas prices now at record high levels many consumers have begun to search for alternative methods of transportation. At one time gas mileage was only one factor in buying a car or truck, but it was only one factor among many. Now that gas prices have reached a record high, gas mileage has turned into the number one most important aspect of buying a vehicle. Unfortunately even cars that get decent gas mileage are still expensive to operate with a small car costing upwards of $50 to fill.
With current high fuel prices, it's no wonder why gas motor scooter sales are booming. Scooter mileage is unbelievable! A gas powered scooter can get gas mileage of up to 100 miles per gallon. Even a small car, if driven responsibly only gets around 40-45 miles per gallon. Many Trucks and SUV's get gas mileage in the 20 mile per gallon range, with a fill-up costing over $100! SUV mileage makes scooter mileage look like a joke!
What's even better is that many scooters have small gas tanks that only hold one gallon of fuel and with scooter mileage at around 100 mpg, that means that you can drive 100 miles on that one gallon of fuel, or less than $5.00. Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it!
It's not hard to see why motor scooter sales are predicted to skyrocket. Many commuters could save literally thousands of dollars each year just by buying a gas powered scooter to get to work everyday. Not only will these drivers save money, but motor scooters are also fun to drive. Imagine that you drove 200 miles each week in an SUV. This could cost approximately $40 in fuel costs, whereas the same trip on a motor scooter would cost just $8. The savings over one year would be $1652! Now imagine all the other costs associated with a car or SUV such as insurance, repairs and the high payments and it's easy to see why motor scooters are so popular.
Even beyond the economic factors of owning a motor scooter, the environmental savings are also impressive. Because scooter mileage is so good and they burn much less fuel than a car or SUV the Co2 emissions are also greatly reduced. Not only will you save money, but you will feel good about doing your part to save the environment.
