Wink terrible idea?

hey guys, with gas looking expensive and only getting worse, i had a stroke of genius...or insanity, depending on how you look at it. i do 90% of my driving within my town, and was wondering...should i consider a moped? I know they need a license, but that shouldnt be hard to obtain. I was wondering if these things need insurance, if so then just forget it. also, would i be able to drive one on the shoulder as if it were a regular bike? i think the one im looking at has a top speed of probably 30 so i doubt it would be allowed on roads e.g. mantaloking/drumpoint for those of you in the brick area. So what do you think?! also anyone selling a p.o.s. moped for cheap? haha thanks guys!
