    If you take gallons (volume - length x length x length) and divide by miles (distance- length), then you get a number whose units are length x length... or area. So if we used gallons per mile, we'd have a number with easy to understand units.

    What would that number with those units represent?
    Imagine your car's fuel tank is a very long, thin tube... a miles long tube... The tube holds exactly as much gas as your car needs to travel a distance equal to the tube's length. So a thin tube means low fuel consumption, and a thick tube means high fuel consumption.

    Low gallons per mile (gpm) means low consumption, high gpm means high consumption. The units are area, which we all understand. That area is the cross-section of a tube which represents your vehicle's consumption.

    It just makes so much more sense.
    I fail to see how that makes any of the information easier to understand and/or convey.

    Let's use an example. Say my car gets 31 miles per gallon and has a 12 gallon tank. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know. People can understand 31 MPG or that you can travel 372 miles on a full tank (not that I would try!), etc.

    That seems better than trying to explain fuel efficiency as .0323 GPM or "a fairly narrow, long tube" and I still don't see why getting a number expressed as area is better. Help me out here.

    People who use GOAT as an acrony. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
    If you use GOAT as an acronym it means that you have run out of proper superlatives a long time ago. Pace yourselves with your hyperboles.

    Quiz time: Which of the following would save more fuel?

    a) Replacing a compact car that gets 34 miles a gallon with a hybrid that gets 54 m.p.g.

    b) Replacing from an S.U.V. that gets 18 m.p.g. with a sedan that gets 28 m.p.g.

    c) Both changes save the same amount of fuel.

    The correct answer is b. In fact, going from 18 m.p.g. to 28 m.p.g. saves more than twice as much fuel as going from 34 m.p.g. to 54 m.p.g. (198 gallons vs. 94 gallons), according to two management professors from Duke University.

    Maybe not so crazy after all. I think it's one of those things where one is so used to doing something a certain way that changing it seems really off the wall. It seems to be a good idea but still something I wouldn't change... mostly because, well, it's one of those things where I'm so used to doing it a certain way that changing it seems really off the wall

    Motorized shopping carts and (sometimes) the people operating them. HOly shit who the hell thought it would be a good idea to give a senile old man A MOTORIZED CART TO PLOW AROUND STORES WITH? I get that it is a sensitive issue and all with disabilities and what not but let's not go causing more of them when people get run over.

    Yeah I had to make it a little dramatic to get my point across.

    Paying £5k pa for a 45 minute train journey to work, only for it then to be late every day and having to stand up for most of it.

    Adults opposite me on the train that can't wait until they get home for dinner, so choose to pick their nose and eat it constantly every time I do get a seat.

    Twats on the train that make no effort to pretend that they aren't reading my newspaper/book or watching my video over my shoulder.

    Fucking idiots that want to get on the tube with a double bass during rush hour.

    There's a theme here...

    I just don't get this. I cannot remember the last time I woke up before I get up, needing a piss, even though I drink tea right up to bedtime. Maybe that's because I always have a piss before going to bed, and have an adult bladder.

    Get a piss bottle or something if it's that cold.

    £5k for a season ticket? wtf? It's 45 minutes from my town to Birmingham, and that trip costs around £7 return. That would be around £2k just paying daily. I'm guessing you're in London? God I fucking hate that place.

    I've seen B'ham lose a penalty shootout 2-0. Fortunately that was against Liverpool and so we were happy we even took them to a shootout.

    David fucking Moyes will come good. I don't think there's a manager alive who could eaily step into that job. He needs at least two seasons before he can be judged fairly.

    Yeah all the David Moyes hate is a bit strange. Even though he's been pretty inept tactically in a few games. Anyway Rooney RVP and Mata going to get us top four, throw in a good CL run and it won't have been too bad a season.

    Thing that tilt me is when I lost at the end of the tournaments with AA from cards like 98.
    And I tilt when I lose to much money on cash games is situation like first that I said ( with two aces).

    I just ate a new brand of (oven cook) pizza. It was so delicious that I didn't need any of the mayo or sweet chilli sauce which I had rather generously dolloped on my plate prior to trying the pizza. This is tilting not just because I wasted the delicious sweet chilli sauce, but because the fact that the pizza was so delicious all by itself that had a negative (albeit posaitive overall) connotation at all.

    You use mayo on pizza and chili sauce? I've never heard of that. I can see a chili sauce, I guess that's a little like the red pepper flakes I put on pizza. But mayo?

    People who say 'of course' and 'of course not' instead of yes and no. If I ever kill someone, it's not because of some deep seated ideological differences or a sense of righteousness. 'I was just asking if the coasters were in top cupboard, and there was no reason to be flippant about it your honor.'

    I do enjoy occasionally interrupting people with 'Can I just stop you there' and then not follow it up with anything.
