A gallon of regular unleaded gasoline costs around $3 (midwest US) right now, and contains about 31,000 calories.
Tell me
any kind of food you can buy, that $3 worth would contain 31,000 calories.

Does not equate. I can go 130 miles on about 5000 calories. So, that's roughly 750 miles per 31000 calories I can ingest. Show me a car that can go 750 miles per gallon?
