Rather more sheddy would be...
Hehehe!
Beer drinkers: "5 uk pints per day in uk gallons per year" One for the ladies: "6 inches per day in yards per year"
Good stuff!

It's nice to have it in acres too :o)

Think of a car that doesn't carry any fuel on board, but scoops it up from a trough laid along the road instead. If you took the fuel consumption of the car as an area, it would give you the smallest cross-sectional area of trough that you could get away with.
I'm sad enough to think that's really clever you know ;o)

28MPG looked a bit poor!320 miles per 42 litres in miles per imperial gallon (320 miles) per (42 litres) = 34.6368905 miles per Imperial gallon

Oops. Thanks for that.
