They guys at Pacific Natural Energy invented the Fat Box that turns animal fat straight into fuel, no need for french fry grease. Love the green startups.

If you don't pedal too hard, bicycles will go for very long distances on fat and simple sugars.

That's going to be unpleasant to fuel up. How many miles per pig now?

I believe the standard metric is miles per american. (or some other witty comment about Americans, fatness, and big cars)
