    The average American walks about 900 miles year.
    Another study found Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
    That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.
    Kind of makes you proud to be an American.

    I probably walk more than average, but I then drink more than average to even it out.

    yeah, that math doesnt make me feel too good. :(

    considering I may walk 900 feet per year, but I consume twice the amount mentioned :eek4:...;)

    Well, I average over 10 gallons a month (but how do they break down "alcohol"?)....an 8gal keg lasts me ~3wks, plus the 1-2x a week I go out. However, I walk, on average, about 5 miles a day while in Thailand, 3-4 weeks a year. Nope....still getting horrible mileage.
