Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / September 2005Impact of obesity on national fuel economy
One can't help but be aware of the number of fat people waddling around these days. Its a real tribute to industrial cuisine. What I would like to know is just how many millions of barrels of oil is being used to just accelerate this extra lard mass. It must have a significant impact on the fuel economy of national car fleets, public transportation energy costs. > One can't help but be aware of the number of fat people waddling around > these days.

Hell yes. Air and bus fares should be based on passenger weight. > Hell yes. Air and bus fares should be based on passenger weight. I thought you said weight doesn't matter WRT fuel economy? Despite you're probably just trolling as usual, I actually agree - since it costs more to move the weight and to provide extra area for it, charge more. > > One can't help but be aware of the number of fat people waddling around > > these days.

Obesity in our nation is having an effect on the airline industry, so I would not be surprised to see that our collective fat a.ses are draging down the efficiency of our autos also.

Self appointed unofficial overseer of kooks and trolls in rec.autos.driving One can't help but be aware of the number of presumptuous nanny-statists infesting the country and the world these days. It's a real tribute to the sheer number of morons with nothing better to do. What I would like to know is just how many millions of barrels of oil are being burned just to propagate, and enforce, their sanctimonious and often hypocritical twaddle about how other people should live their lives. It must have a significant impact on national government budgets. The government ought to consider a great money-saving move: HANG the SOBs instead of enacting their advice into law! |
