I had an old Garrelli moped(before it got stolen) back in the late
70's.  It would do 30 mph wound out with it's little 50cc motor and
roller bearing crank.  I took it on a 90 mile round trip on the
highway once and used .47 gallons of gas.  That's over
180mpg.  Lately, I've really been missing that old moped.  Even back
then it retailed for like $700.  It would fit inside my 71 bus for
river running shuttles too.
