This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

1 gal of gas: ~29k calories - $4.609
~29k calories of rice: ~$600 <-- sus math btw ๐Ÿค”

It's simple: drink the gas.

okay, update:
my math was wrong. new cost of rice: ~$11.5 (ordering in bulk)

CONCLUSION
Drink the gas.

Gross metabolic efficiency is gonna be around ~25% so you're best off measuring kilojoules of work as an approximation of calorie burn, and then compare that to how many gallons of gas would be consumed when in a car, but you'd still probably wanna drink the gas
