The U.S. consumes more than 25-percent of the world's total oil supply and produces a large amount of the world's carbon emissions. One way to cut those statistics down is to change what you drive. Scooters can get 50 to 70 miles per gallon and costs around $5 to fill up an empty tank. Leonard Zechiedrich, owner of Vespa of the Ozarks in Rogers, says substituting a scooter for your car just a few times a week can take the pressure off your pocket book. "If your car gets 20 miles per gallon, if you're that fortunate, and your scooter gets 70, at the end of the week you have a nice mileage, or average mileage if you ride once or twice when it's nice and when it's convenient," Zechiedrich says. Scooters also drastically reduce oil consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. It's not just the scooters that are environmentally friendly, the Piaggio Company, which makes Vespas, is doing it's part to be responsible. "The factory that manufactures the scooters is green. We have specific instructions on un-crating scooters. They come in a giant crate with a box around them and each instruction says cut up this cardboard box into dimensions of this size and stack them flatly and take them to the recycling, and the wood, the paper, everything gets recycled."
