Gas Motor Scooters
Gas motor scooters are the best option if you wish to add a little power to your scooters. Propelled by gasoline, they are the best scooters to travel long distances. Coming in different sizes, styles, and colors, they are immensely popular.
Research shows that with passing time, gas motor scooters have doubled in numbers. Small gas motors, especially, seem to be a favorite among people because of their low fuel consumption.
Different types of gas motor scooters are available in the market. Some popular types include the style 150cc, racer 150cc, tank sporty 150cc, and others. Some good companies which make high-quality gas motor scooters include Pocket Rocket, Ultimate, Jet, Thumper, Mosquito and Viper.
Gas motor scooters can be powerful, their motor power ranging from 49cc to 150cc or more. They are fast, and can go up to 65 mph. With good ground clearance and pneumatic tires, they are suitable for long roads.
Usually, gas motor scooters are DOT-certified and come with a warranty. Due to their adherence to DOT regulations, gas scooters have proper brakes, lights, and other safety measures. The only deterrent to such scooters seems to be the noise associated with its engine. But even that is minimized by large mufflers provided with the engine.
The price of gas scooters vary, from $300 to over $2,000. Motor scooters require a valid drivers’ license and a moped registration.
Some dealers which provide gas motor scooters at reasonable or even discounted rates include Viza Motors, the Scooter Company, Urban Scoters, Motorized Scooters, All Web Motors, and GMI Motor Sports.
Great for riding, gas motor scooters are fast, smooth, and convenient for most people. They are indeed the best means of transportation for all.

Moped Scooter Sales Up by 180% in the Last Week
Well, all Americans are feeling the pinch from the gasoline prices, which have gone up over 35 cents per gallon in only ten days. Many Americans have considered buying a moped or scooter and sales at local dealerships for Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Vespa and other name brands are up 180 percent in the last week.
One would suppose this makes a lot of sense considering that if you're only goal in a few miles and you have a large car there is no sense in page $100 to fill it up when you can drive a moped for only $2.30 per thankful. So who makes the best scooters? Well there are several hot selling brands and the Honda Elite is one of the hottest selling scooters all the market and it is most often out of stock. But it also gives over 50 mpg and goes up to 30 mph. So it is the perfect vehicle for delivering yourself around town.
But high gas prices are not the only thing fueling the moped madness. It seems as traffic congestion increases in the city mopeds are able to get around quicker in easier and find a parking spot is a lot simpler. Motorcycle sales are also up with more than usual demand. In fact one motorcycle salesperson told me that they have been quite busy this week and expect to be even more busy this summer once hurricanes season starts and gas prices go up again.

Rising Gas Prices and the Government
The knee-jerk responses to demand the government to do something to force rising gas prices lower continue, but such calls are misguided. Market fluctuations in the price of gasoline, up or down, are none of the government's business. But the U.S. Senate, refusing to engage the free market forces of supply and demand soon will be looking at a bill that seeks to dampen gas prices by criminalizing price gauging. Huh! Price gauging is really in the eyes of the beholder. This is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt at price controls. What should the government do about gasoline prices? The answer is manifest; keep its hands off
Since the Arab oil embargo of 1973, the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Energy have investigated high gasoline prices ad nauseum and have never found a shred of evidence of collusion, manipulation or price fixing.
There simply is no economic justification for any politician or consumer to declare market prices too high, or to use the government to force lower prices in an artificially dangerous way. To do so violates both the rights of those who produce gasoline and their customers to reach a mutually agreeable price on a voluntary basis. In fact, if artificial meddling occurs, the cure becomes worse than the supposed illness as it can cause destructive shortages.
When the demand for gasoline increases relative to the supply, the sellers of gasoline raise their prices. That's Economics 101. As the producers and owners of gasoline, this is their free market right. This is what a free market is all about. The price increases encourage future production. And since customer demand for cheap gasoline greatly exceeds the available supply, we should be happy that prices are increased. If they did not, we would very quickly experience shortages. And when shortages exist, how much gasoline a customer is able to get may depend on whether that customer has time to wait in endless and potentially dangerous lines as in the 1970s.
In the business world, firms purchase oil or gasoline only to the extent that they can make profitable use of it at higher prices. For example, an efficient airline will still be able to offer low prices while using high-priced jet fuel; a laggard competitor may not be able to. Almost every product we use involves oil; hence, we all gain from oil being directed toward its most profitable uses.
Sooner or later, the government will realize that it's all about supply and demand which in turn may be impacted by acts of God, refinery fires, etc. But as a May 29, 2007 New Hampshire Union Leader editorial stated, "It's only human to believe that bad things happen -- high gas prices, for example -- because bad people sat down in secret and planned it that way."
Prices can be made artificially high as a result of the government's endless regulations on production. Indeed, many state governments impose the absurd mandate that companies refine nearly 60 different blends of gasoline despite the fact that cars using today's standard unleaded gasoline, even with the overall increase in driving, pollute very little by historical standards. Additionally, endless red tape and mindless environmental impact studies make new construction significantly less profitable. The costs of such regulations are huge and raise the price of gasoline. According to the American Petroleum Institute, "the refining industry has spent over $47 billion over the last decade to comply with environmental and fuels regulations--expenditures that generally yield little or no return on investment."
Other regulations prohibit domestic drilling on plentiful sources of oil in a portion of the caribou habitat in an Alaskan wasteland. Also, the entire Outer Continental Shelf of the United States is off-limits and this represents an even larger source of untapped oil. Chevron's recent discovery of an estimated 3 to 15 billion barrel reserve in the Gulf of Mexico was remarkable, but how many other such finds are currently off-limits?
The government is right to take action if an oil company threatens or harms a private property. Yet, with respect to preserving untouched nature, efforts to impose huge costs on oil companies and their customers in a manner hostile to free enterprise are highly questionable.
As the aforementioned editorial concludes, "The price-gauging bill is a backdoor attempt at price controls, which inevitably fail and inevitably hurt consumers in the process. The public can always vote on prices with their cars."
Of course, in the end, we will need to conceptualize in an accurate fashion the consumer demands, human needs, and social relations of our societies in a manner that more adequately sustains nature's resources.

4 Ways the Average Car Owner is Being Overcharged at the Pump
After watching gas prices rise at an alarming rate, I have to speak out about it. Year after year oil companies raise the price above our comfort level. Then, they drop the price but never to the same level as before. Thus, conditioning the public to higher and higher prices. It is said that you could cook a lobster the same way. Just raise the temperature a little bit at a time. He will get used to the higher temperature and never know that he is being cooked until it is too late.
That is why I believe that hybrids, hybrid electric, all electric car, anything other than a pure gas using vehicle is the way to go. Ideally, I would like to see a car mass produced that does not use any gas at all. But, hybrids seem to be a practical solution for the time being.
Big oil companies manipulate gas prices many different ways. One way is by not repairing or replacing old worn out refineries. Therefore, creating a shortage of gasoline but not not a oil shortage. In California alone, ten refineries representing 20 per cent of the state's refining capacity were closed between 1985 and 1995.
For the year 2006, Exxon reported annual profit of $39.5 billion. This was the largest profit reported by any American company in history.
Yet, there has not been a new oil refinery built in the United States since 1976. All the remaining American refineries are running at full capacity. There is hardly anytime for the plants to shut down for routine maintenance and upkeep. Because if they do shut down, it causes a break in the production of gasoline resulting in a price rise. Either way, the oil companies win. They can save money by not repairing the refineries or earn more money from the shortages caused by refinery shutdowns.
Another way prices are manipulated, is when the temperature rises during the summer months. When the temperature of the gas rises over 60 degrees, the gas expands. However, the California pumps do not account for the bigger volume and the customers receive less gas than they should. California regulators have certified a temperature adjusted pump, but the oil companies are fighting the use of this pump.
Finally, the price at the gas pump is not following the price of crude oil. For example, the price of crude oil on april, 2006 was $65.67 per barrel. The national average during that time period averaged $2.631 while Californians paid an average $2.788 or 15.7 cents more than the rest of the United States. On April 23, 2007 the price of crude oil was $63.39, compared to the 2006 price of $65.67 per barrel. While at the pump, gasoline prices rose to a national average of $2.917 and California prices rose to $3.363 or 44.6 cents more than the national average.
My purpose of this discussion is to point out the advantages of using hybrid electric vehicles whenever possible. The price of crude oil may go up or down but the only direction for gasoline prices is up.

Gas Mopeds
If you are considering purchasing a moped, you may notice that there are a few different types. Gas mopeds use gasoline as opposed to electricity as its source of power. Gas mopeds are ideal for those who live in cities or need something to get them around town inexpensively. Here is some advice on how to choose a gas moped that is right for you.
First determine your budget. Gas mopeds can range in price depending on if they are purchased used or new. Prices range from several hundred dollars to several thousand. So, no matter what your price requirements are, you will be able to find something.
Beware of mopeds that seem too inexpensive. By searching for a moped based solely on its price, you run the danger of purchasing something that is substandard or broken. You may want to research the model, manufacturer, and any defects that the brand has been known to have before making the purchase.
Once you decide on which gas moped you would like to purchase, you may want to shop around for the best prices. Some people find their mopeds based solely on price; others would like to purchase a specific brand or model. If you do your research, you will find the best prices.
Also understand that different states and cities have different requirements for use, insurance, and licenses. Make sure you contact your local motor vehicle office to make sure you understand all the rules. They may have a minimum speed requirement, require a special license, make your wear a helmet, or purchase insurance. They may also have different safety requirements.
Gas mopeds are an inexpensive transportation alternative. You can use them to commute, run errands, or go for leisurely drives through the surrounding countryside. Whatever your reasons for wanting one, with a little research you are sure to find the best deals.
