Do you really know how much gas you use? Sure, you look at the pump occasionally when you fill up and see that you put 16 gallons in, but do you ever really think about how much that is?
You would if gas were sold like beer, in 12 ounce cans. In my 1991 BMW 750iL, which gets ~17 mpg, I would only get 1.6 miles per can. That means that for my 37 mile commute to work I would have to open 23 cans of gas and pour them into the tank. I would need another case just to get back home in the evening. My motorcycle gets 48 mpg. That’s not so bad, right? I’d still need more than 16 cans for the round trip. Looks like I need to get a bigger backpack. |

I don't drink beer, so I could care less... Do the same thing with bottles of Jeagermsister and, well....
But I'd LOVE to see pix of that big Bimmer! I love those 750iLs. Beautiful! I am thinking that if I can splurge on another toy in a couple years, that would be a great family truckster! I had to pass on a V12 version right before I bought my Vette. Black with some really nifty factory alloys. Oh MAN I wanted that car! |

:banghead] The difference here would be; Beer in the tank = no go. Jagermiester in the tank= happy engine. :thumbleft: |

. I think you miscalculated... you'd need 35 cans. (23 for the tank and a 12 pack for you!) |
