Great MPG

The average guy walks 900 miles in a year. The average guy also drinks 22 gals of beer in a year. Thats like 41 miles per gallon.

Have a great holiday and a wonderful NewYear everyone.

Are you implying that we should try running our trucks on beer, and if so, which brand? And does it have to be ULCB (ultra low carb beer) so it doesn't clog the DPF?

Now that's the kind of math I can relate to, even though I've never stopped to consider how much I pay for a gallon of beer.

I hope they have some LCB (low carb beer) for us who have older injection pumps. The carbs are great for lubricity. Too bad the EPA will read this and make using beer as fuel illegal LOL.

You can get around that if you only use it as an additive. I'm thinking of using B(eer)99. Hope the bio guys don't have the B trademarked.

Well per gallon that sounds expensive compared to diesel, but 30 gallons of beer will last me a lot longer than 4 or 5 days so I think it's worth the premium price.
