one of the nerds will probably tell me i'm wrong, but:
toyota camry curb weight 3340 lbs
gasoline weight per gallon 6lbs
camry curb weight in gallons of gas ~560
camry mpg ~30
miles/560 gallons gas 16,800
average miles driven per month 1k
--> around 17 monthsTe Occidere Possunt Sed Te Edere Non Possunt Nefas Est.

Like, I wonder if it's much faster than we imagine, since the exhaust is invisible and lighter than air, with no ashes. I also wonder if there's some factor in the industry, like, tons of CO2 per 100k miles."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?

Today I learned that Australians call McDonald's "Macca's". I also learned that Australians are very lazy with their speech, abbreviating practically everything.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
