Gas-efficient scooters gain following

TOLONO – When it is time for Tolono hairstylist Debbie Revell to make a house call to give a fellow resident a perm or a haircut, she puts her equipment in the back of red and black scooter and rides to her next appointment.

"Riding a scooter is a blast, and it saves me a lot of money on gasoline," Revell said.

Revell said her scooter gets up to 100 miles per gallon.
