On being Canadian

[squeezy]

Great to be Canadian!

A recent study found the average Canadian walks
about 900 miles a year.

Another study found Canadians drink, on average,
22 gallons of beer a year.

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

Kind Of Makes You Proud To Be Canadian ....EH?

That's it. i'm converting!!

 

[pigcicles]

Now there's some mileage!

 

[peculiarmike]

You know, it took a Canadian to come up with that tidbit.

Long winters and good beer up dere, lotta food for thought.

 

[wvsmokeman]

Yeah, we ain't fur behind ya just across the Bluewater/Ambassador ya know!
I often go ooot and a-booot under beer power... ;{)

 

[bigarm's smokin]

You sound more Canadian than Canadian's.

You musta spent a little time up there, Eh?

 

[richtee]

Actually, it's pretty much "over there" for me. Hold your left hand up and locate that vein just under your index finger's first knuckle. That's me. Ain't Michigan great? Carry a map wherever ya go! LOL

There was a similar post not long ago. I believe Americans get near the same mileage.

 

[t-bone tim]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, givin that equation, I figure I only get about 13.5 miles per gallon

............but I'm not complaining ....lol

 

[bbq bubba]

There's one canuck that doesn't like walking!!

 

[squeezy]

In all fairness, our gallon is a bit bigger then the U.S. one, so we have to get better mileage.

Now that we are forced to use metric, gas mileage is expressed as litres per 100 KM .... e.g. 9.5 L / 100 K
Oh yeah ... I can totally relate to that ... not!

 

[richtee]

Well, I guess you folks need a grassroots movement to only have beer sold in litres then, eh? "Calculation Simpification Act"?

Hmmm The numbers would probably be even kinder if ya went to kegs!

 

[hawgheaven]

Well then, that would make it gas kilomage, right?

 

[shlaba]

lmao!!!! sometimes its just great to be canadian, mind u though i've never really got the metric conversion but at least i now know

 

[smoked]

Litres....heck I thought they already had the beer measurement....called...Labatts or something like that....know what I mean eh?

 

[squeezy]

Sure why not?

 

[squeezy]

How about Molsons ?

 

[squeezy]

Even more fun with weather ... celsius vs farenheit ...
