Golf study

[Tin Man]

Just received these results from a recent study:
-----

A recent study found the average American golfer walks about 900 miles a Year.

Another study found American golfers drink, on average, 22 gallons of beer a Year.

That means, on average, American golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon.

I wonder if these averages hold up for the average American hiker. :-?

Some of the guys I golf with have worse mileage than a Hummer! :D

I wonder if these averages hold up for the average American hiker. :-? For a thru hiker this would mean 2175 miles / 41 MPG = 53.04 gallons of beer. I'm thinking it is likely pretty close to accurate given the drinking behavior I've witnessed in trail towns. :D YMMV

[Uncle Silly]

So.... lower MPG is better?

(pulls out calculator)

2175 miles / 23 MPG = ...hmmm, carry the 1.... = 94.57 gallons of beer. That sounds better to me! :D

When it comes to beer, my mileage per gallon is pretty low. And sadly, certain brands leave me with an emissions problem.:eek:

After some tough calculations, and after having my answer peer reviewed, I determined I get, as of right now, 0 gallons for every 115 miles of backpacking.
