I know the UK is very expensive, the first question most of asked when getting a new car was, what does it do to the gallon.

When I was 16 i had a Yamaha FS1E 50cc. It was classed as a moped because in theory you could unlock the footrests and turn them into bicycle pedal configuration, then actually pedal it. I did it when i first got it and my legs had to go round in a blur just to get enough speed to keep the thing balanced. It took just once sliding off of it on a wet roundabout before the footrest were bent enough that there was no chance of ever moving them to peddle again.
For a 50cc it went like stink, I got 56 MPH though a nearby town, I know it was 56 because the police told me

A few years after I got mine, new ones were restricted to 30mph with a washer in the exhaust manifold, obviously it took those 16 year olds about 10 seconds to get that restriction off but my point was going to be at last, it used to cost me 50p for a gallon of petrol and 10p for 2 shots of oil (2 stroke).
