Hmm depends on which fuel you choose to fill up with. Assuming we choose the cheapest option, a litre of clean burning canola oil can carry you 91km assuming 30 calories/km and 2750 calories/litre @ <$2/L that's a lot better than a car even before ownership and other per mile costs.
But most people are in an unwanted caloric surplus so it's really even better than this for those people.
- photojosh 9y agoI'm in Australia, and in our car it works out to about A$0.13/km in fuel. So yeah, you're right there. I choose not to drink pure canola oil because reasons. But if I did, my ride to work would be fueled by 30mL - so I could maybe just start taking a shot in the morning and a shot in the evening. Yummy.
- mowenz 9y agoHaha - well if we're going to talk about practicality - it doesn't need to be as tasteless as that - it reminds me of the ultra endurance swimmers sucking hot oil through a tube. You can just make some delicious fried or oily snack, like crisps or chips or sauteed spinach, or fried what-have-you. ...but even a shot of oil is more healthy, pleasurable and hygenic (assuming you burn it all) than filling your tank with petrol :)
- photojosh 9y agoI love endurance; riding and running. But even an hour swimmingly bores me to death, can't imagine doing those 10km+ swims. Hot oil through a tube... TIL and ewww.
