On his Facebook wall and Twitter page, Dustin Hurst of Idaho Reporter tells of his flirtation with a moped he wanted as a means of saving money on gas: "So, I test-drove the moped and it runs great. Now, to buy or not to buy, that is the question. We would have to license it, get helmets, and put insurance on it... is that worth saving tons in gas money? Probably. Thoughts?" My son rode a moped to the Denver School of Medicine for a few years before he and daughter-in-law Sweet Stephanie bought a second vehicle. Junior's moped has been in mothballs since. Now, as a member of the University of Florida medical staff who deals with head injuries, Junior's stance against mopeds is stronger than ever. He's also become a Helmet Nazi. He once told his mother who shied from wearing a helmet while bike riding because it doesn't look good: "You know what looks worse -- brains splattered all over cement."

Question: Have you considered buying a moped or motorcycle to save on gas?
