Ink: Scooters Sales & High Gas Prices

Are gas prices high? Sure!

Are newspapers writing about that? Yep!

Have they noticed scooters (even if they get some of those nitpicky facts wrong?) Heck yeah!

Instead of blogging about each one of these articles separately every time a new one pops up, I will dole them out in batches for your consumption pleasure. If nothing else, this shows me that scooters are on the radar of the American Press (to some degree) and therefore will grow and slowly pop up on the radar of the American People.

He says a woman in a big SUV couldn't believe how little he paid for gas!

"I watched her put 60 dollars into her Navigator...I said I'll be riding all week for 6 dollars."
