Whats the solution you ask?
There are many different things we can do to better our spending when it comes to gas. More people are starting to walk, bike, or take buses to where they need to get to. When it comes to short trups such as, going to the convenient store, going to a friends down the street, or getting to class across campus, are examples of situations you want to avoid when it comes to using a car. A car gets it's best milage on the highway, with a steady, fast speed for the engine to sit at. At the other end of the spectrum is where it gets it's worst milage, and that's the stop and go, slow traveling situations. Driving through small towns, campuses, or neighborhoods can be a pain for your gas tank.
Is there a better, more efficient vehicle?
I've been doing some studying on mopeds and It seems to be one of the better solutions when it comes to transportation. I visited Europe for a month and a half and it seemed like the majority of the people over there had a 50cc moped to use throughout the city. I began to do some research and found that these 50cc mopeds get upwards of 100 Miles to the gallon. Now if that isn't a life saver than I don't know what is. The tanks on the mopeds hold about 1-2 gallons, which means it only costs $5-$10 to fill the tank, which will get you anywhere from 70-100 miles usually.
50cc Mopeds are fantastic for many situations. Like stated about, cars are worst in small areas where stopping and going is constant. Well for a moped these situations are perfect. A large percentage of college students now of days own 50cc mopeds to travel from class to class, or appartment to appartment. It beats driving a car around any day.
Places like campuses, small cities, and neighborhoods are perfect for mopeds. If you live in an area like this, and your sick of driving your car around and wasting gas, then I suggest making the investment and purchasing a 50cc moped. The mopeds themselves are pretty inexpensive to begin with which is a plus to the hole investment. I bought my moped for around $650, which is way, way, way less expensive then any car or motorcycle out there.
I feel everyone living in any of the types of areas stated above should definitely consider purchasing one of these vehicles. It will better there lives in many of ways.
