I choose my scooter over my car as much as possible to use less gasoline (I get 100 MPG on the scooter!) and when I use less, it helps keep the price down for you (it's called "supply and demand"). It also helps the earth and lessens our ties with places like Saudi Arabia. No, I have not lost my driver's license and in fact have a spotless driving record. Yesterday, on my scooter, twice I had to pass cars that were going too slow (about 15 MPH in a 35 MPH zone). So there.
