MPG

Easy ten today.  I had two days off...Friday I was in the car all day and Saturday was designed for rest, so I wanted to get out for a while:

When I returned, Fraidy Cat was more than happy to lick my salty toes for me:

Sister-in-law's Princess Prius was out by the pond, which made me wonder...how many MPG do I get?
Only 50?  Bah!

For a while I thought I was going to get to do some dimensional analysis, but after a quick search someone had done the research for me.  Assuming The Discovery Channel did their math right, a gallon of gas has about 31,000 calories, so I would get about 200 miles to the gallon if I could stomach gasoline.


If you want to think about it the other way, stuffing a large banana into Princess' gas tank would let 'er drive about a football field's length.  If you don't want to think about it that way, I apologize for the image I just implanted in your brain.
