A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year.

Another study found that on average Americans drink 22 gallons of alcohol a year.

That means that the average American gets about 41 miles to the gallon.

Makes you damned proud to be an American.

Over 1,000,000 miles in Benzes, Since66

....and a whole passel of BMW 2002 and Tii

I've never had alcohol, so I guess my mileage is undefined...

1/3 of Americans are obese.
1/3 of Americans are overweight.
1/3 of Americans aren't.

Makes you damned proud to be an American.

My yearly mileage is probably a little higher than average, my consumption is probably a fair amount higher than average. I'm a human Ford Taurus.
