Scooters save owners money in many ways
With gas prices rising students have tried to find a vehicle that is the ultimate gas saver: the scooter.
With gas prices rising students have tried to find a vehicle that is the ultimate gas saver: the scooter.
David McGovern, manager at D&T Performance, said there are many benefits to having a scooter over a car.
"Good gas mileage is probably the number one benefit of owning a scooter," McGovern said.
Lance Shurtz, sales associate at Stephen Wade Power Sports, agreed with McGovern that gas mileage is a real plus in owning a scooter.
Shurtz said: "You can get up to 90 miles a gallon in a scooter. While in a car, depending on the car of course, you only average about 15 miles per gallon. So the savings in gas prices are huge in comparison to cars."
Ryan Kunzler, a sophomore business major from Bountiful, owns both a car and a scooter and said he drives his scooter all the time because it saves a lot of gas every month.
“I fill up my scooter probably four to five times a month and put about $4 in each time,” Kunzler said. “Then I fill up my car once a month and put $40 in.”
Shurtz said parking is another benefit to driving a scooter.
