Car Sales Down. Scooter Interest Up.
Just released Consumer Reports research shows consumers are interested in purchasing scooters and motorcycles, often at the expense of a car. A local motorcycle shop told me business has never been better when I went in to choke down $11 for a quart of transmission fluid. A rate of nearly $2,000 a barrel. (I bought the cheap stuff.)
I get 55 miles per gallon on a 1000cc motorcycle. I believe many smaller scooters get well over 100 mpg. Additionally, Piaggio, better known as the maker of Vespa to many of us, has developed a 170 mpg hybrid scooter. For the average daily work commute in America, that equates to about a gallon of gas a week.
Live in a climate where the cost-benefit analysis pays off? Liberate yourself and get a scooter.
