This article was in the local news...just curious to what some people on here are doing to budget gas prices??? We've definatly changed to eating in more versus eating out!!!!
Article reads:
The increase in gas prices is driving an increase in motorcycle sales.
Experts say Arkansas's registered motorcycles sales have increased from 40,000 to 45,000 this past year.
Many motorcycles have five gallons tanks which equates to about 12 to 13 bucks to fill up.
The two-wheeled vehicle can average around 45 to 55 miles a gallon.
The trend is also catching on for police departments in Fort Barre, Louisiana.
The chief of police traded in his fleet of Impalas for scooters.
(John Martin) "An SUV you might fill it up for $70.00 dollars and you turn around it seems like it's ready to be filled up again."
Gas prices nationwide are averaging around $2.61 cents a gallon.
