New Online Calculator Shows R50,000 a Year Saving On A Scooter Instead Of A Car

Look, hard evidence speaks for itself.

In a world where petrol prices continue to soar, you simply cannot afford to keep ignoring the amazing affordability of a scooter. Not if you want to keep on choking down those Woolies heat and eat meals you’ve been getting full-figured on.

Vespa’s nifty calculator works out how much money you’ll save driving a scooter compared to driving a car.

We went to the extreme and took the fuel consumption of a 3.8l Jeep Wrangler (they say here that it gets 100km per 22l of petrol = 4.5km per litre) and a daily travel distance of 30km to work (and back makes it 60km). That’s like driving from Bellville to Sea Point.

This is what it spat out..

That’s R52,284 a year!

Not only will you save yourself cash on petrol, but you can also help save our planet. And let’s not even touch on the years you’ll be adding to your life by diminishing traffic congestion stress…

Get on it.
