Boom in sales of the frugal scooter
From gisborneherald.co.nz:
“The weather is keeping most people in their cars, but this will be the summer of the scooter if inquiries are anything to go by, dealers here say.
“Gisborne is a ‘five-minute town’ -you can get anywhere in five minutes, and a scooter will do 60 to 70 kilometres a litre.
“One of our customers works next to us in Hammer Hardware, and lives by the hospital. She spends eight dollars a month on fuel - perhaps nine dollars with the price rises.”"
