Scooting around high gas prices

A Denver yoga studio owner said she likes tripling her gas mileage and "going green" at the same time.
She said 80 percent of her driving is going to be on her Vespa.

Last weekend, she paid about $6,500 for a new 250cc scooter that gets close to 60 miles per gallon.

At Erico Motorsports in Denver, owner Tai Beldock said her scooter sales are up more than 20 percent this year over last, primarily due to rising gas prices.

Beldock said a popular model is a low-powered scooter that sells for less than $2,000 and gets close to 80 miles per gallon.
