That
if you drive 25,000 miles at 15 miles per gallon you will use roughly 1700 gallons of liquefied dinosaurs?
Hurray for that fun math fact
SVR for your time

Or approximately 40.7 barrels.
Or if you drive a 328i and track you mileage, you’ll use 618.698 gallons, 14.731 bbls, of gas to go 16062.8 miles.

You know, I DID know this. though I only with it was as high as 15. Off topic but I like watching videos of Atlantic crossings of personal yachts, no I don’t know why. Anywhere there was a 52 footer that was preparing the crossing so they filled each of the 886 gallon main tanks (2) then 3 (!) 300 gallon bladders. thats nearly 2700 gallons of Diesel! seems like you could cross the Atlantic is much more comfort for less than $8000 for 2 people. Just my 2 cents.

Once I reach about 60mph on my electric motorcycle, the speedometer reading becomes a misnomer. It says 60mph, but cannot travel an hour at 60mph, so therefore, it is actually less than 60mph, because at that rate, at some point in the hour, I’m pushing, as the battery makes under 60 miles of range at that speed.

I drive 55,000 a year at 15 mpg equaling 3,666 gallons and that’s just for work. Wife and I put about 15,000 between the other 2 cars the average of those two are 18mpg equaling 833 for a total of 4,499 I’ll round it up to 4,525 gallons when we include the generator/mower/trimmer. Furthermore gas weighs about 6 pounds per gallon meaning I use 27,150 lbs or 13.575 tons of fuel a year.

Hmm, the weight part is very interesting

6.3 lbs in a gallon x 1700 gallons = 10,710 lbs.
T-Rex weighs around 9 tons or around 19,836 lbs. So there you go. In two years, you will have used up pretty much two full T-Rexs’

I fully support worshiping the dinosaurs and may they forever power the internal combustion engine to move us at speeds only once dreamed about.

I don’t put anything past zealots bent on destruction. Fire-boming a big SUV is easy... Apply yourself! Take out a few private jets or something!
