i feel like a train isn't going to get anywhere on a tablespoon. That's enough for a few engine strokes perhaps, but that's hardly 30 times better than a mile by a human, no?

I'm not sure on the numbers but I know a human couldn't get freight moving even with a whole jar of peanut butter.

This is probably one of the best serious sentences I've ever read.

My car will probably go (at its best) about 300m on a tablespoon of fuel. About a fifth of a mile. But it weighs about 20 times as much as I do, so I think that's pretty good going.

With a rolling start and flat ground it will pass this test at 30mph, and probably higher too. That's quite a lot faster than I can run, too...

Based it on the weight-miles per gallon (assuming something like a 200lb human).
