Question

Does scooter help people to save money and gas?

Answer 1

Yes it does but not one that you buy for a 1000, If  buy a quality scooter that is a size that fits your needs and you use it as your main from of transportation then it saves you money. But you can not listen to the children on here that can not think past ninja and use your common sense. If you never go on the high way and your riding is all on city streets, You can buy a new Kymco 50cc that will go up to 35 or 40 mph and get 100+ miles per gallon, for around 2k out the door. And have a lot of fun and reduce you transportation cost a lot.

Answer 2

After you spend the money on the scooter, say $1000. It needs to earn $1000 worth of gas you didn't use back before you actually start saving money.

Answer 3

They certainly can.  

1. Take the average number of miles you travel in a period of time, divide by the the fuel economy of your current mode of transportation (in MPG), then multiply by the price of a gallon of gas.

2. Substitute the fuel economy number in step 1 with the scooter's (probably 70 MPG or so) and subtract this value from the value you got in step 1.  This will tell you the savings of having a scooter over another method.

Ex:

400 miles per week, with $4.00/gal gas.

25 MPG:  400/25 = 16.  16 * 4.00 = $64.

70 MPG:  400/70 = 5.71.  5.71 * 4 = $22.86

$64 - $22.86 = $41.14 savings per week.

Scooters can definitely save people money, but it will depend on individual situations.
