@Chmeeee: Rated? I just measure mine by dividing miles traveled by gallons used. Who needs ratings?

@GreenN_Gold: Froggy 101? What the hell is that? It's a ripoff of a California classic.

@Brookespeed: Weakly Interacting Massive Particle?

@Dogen: You couldn't live long? That's $50k a year for 68 years! Don't forget, it's tax free too. That's a pretty good living no matter where you go.

WTF? Ice Road Truckers is coming on? I'm on Pacific time, what the hell gives? Damn DirecTV!

@Blaze1: Don't start a Scandinavian competition in this thread, I'm not wearing any protective gear. ;-)

It doesn't have anything to do with his computer gaming experience, it's just the fact that he's Finnish.

@tuxus: That's interesting to hear how it is up there. Here in Southern California, Starbucks is considered the standard and indy shops are more of a luxury, a "place to be seen".

@AnnataVarro: Right you are, and more coffee is always better!

@Risky: Read it again, and try to picture it in your head step by step this time. You get the same amount of coffee (nominally), and the same size cup.

@tick tock the clock rocks roosters: This is a quality comment.

@tuxus: Agreed on the french press, but where I live, there are no independent shops that are cheaper than sbux. There are plenty of mom-and-pop coffee houses, but they typically run about 20% more expensive for the same drink. Hell, around here, even a 16oz coffee at a gas station still costs $1.49.

@AnnataVarro: Your reading comprehension is off. You do end up with the same amount of coffee... and the same amount of creamer. Basically, the same exact amount of total beverage.

@Arken: "Hello, airplanes? Yeah, it's blimps. You win!"

@skierpage: Yeah, I noticed that, but the 2.7 G/100M is merely a conversion of the MPG figure. Instead, they could have added in the electric range and come up with something like 1.76 G/100M. That wouldn't be perfect, but it would make a lot more sense than "93 MPG in all-electric mode".

@McKeystone:

I'm racking my brain to try and remember a single noted event in which an action of civil disobedience was designed with the convenience of others in mind. Inconveniencing those who are apathetic toward your cause is kind of the goal of such actions, is it not? That's how it works, and that's why it works.

@DreamTheEndless: That is a concise and well backed-up viewpoint. Thank you for saying what so many of us are thinking. Heart click.

Hey, you know what would solve a lot of this confusion? Switching our standard to gallons/100miles. Why are we using MPG anyway? There's got to be some sort of marketing voodoo behind it. Maybe because it makes gas guzzlers appear to not be as uneconomical as they really are?

@kaffenated: Tell me you know exactly what I'm going to say, make some bullshit claim that I have no rights and only privileges, and then disappear into your little turtle shell to avoid needing to defend your viewpoints, all with a smarmy and sanctimonious attitude about the whole thing? Yeah, I probably wouldn't…
