WSAV.com – Savannah / Hilton Head – News, Weather and Sports | Gas Prices Too High? Try a Scooter!: “If the rising price of gasoline is getting you down, we may have a solution for you. It gets 75 miles to the gallon for only a few dollars worth of gas. One drawback though; you can’t go very fast.

On Your Side consumer reporter JoAnn Merrigan takes a look at a growing trend across the country and here at home – driving a scooter.

Chris Senneff has been driving his scooter for several years.

“I can go a week, week and a half on a tank of gas which is a little over a gallon.”

For about 3 dollars, Senneff can travel all over Savannah. And it seems others may be joining him.

“I have a car right now, but I’m fixing to sell it because I never use it.””
