Question: As a 17 year old, what can I do to not spend a gallon this summer?

I’m 17 years old and I drive a car that runs on premium grade and I get 18 MPG. I’m sick of it! I can’t stand having these big corporations suck all of my money. So basically I want to know what I can do to not stay on this INSANE track.

I’ve thought about getting a motorcycle even though they are extremely dangerous. I’m also thinking about getting an electric car because they seem like our best bet for the future. I watched “Who killed the electric car” and I’m shocked. I don’t even know how to get my hands on one right now. Is it even possible for me to get an electric car?

Ethanol seems to be dead end and hydrogen fuel cells seem to be way far into the future. Hybrids only offer me a temporary solution and don’t help that much.

What can I do?

What Separates Gas And Electric Mopeds

With the downturn in the economy individuals are trying to find out new ways in which they have the ability to save a great deal of money. One of the greatest ways that people are doing this for is placing their cars into storage or trading them for a moped.

These are smaller variants of the motorbike and look more like motorized bikes. There are two distinct types of mopeds; electric and gas. These are very distinct from each other in the way they are driven, what is used to power them, and how inexpensive they are. We believe that right now electric mopeds are the better selection.

Fuel Cost

You can tell from what they are called the things that are used to power both of these cars. The gas moped uses fuel – which must be filled up once or twice a week betting on how often you use it. The electric kind utilizes a special battery that is able to last for many miles and might easily be charged up when not being used.

It is obvious that when it comes to saving money you can have a better chance to do this with an electric model. Although they are much more costly to purchase you will not have to spend money every month to keep it running.

Environment

When you use anything that operates on fuel or gasoline it will discharge toxins and emissions in the air – which is the dominant cause of pollution. When you are utilizing the electric moped over the gas model you will be saving money and doing what you are able to to reduce pollution. This will make the world at the least partly safer for you and your youngsters.
