[*BCM*] Bike Shops - Tshirts really

[Thouis (Ray) Jones]

I'm not sure about the math on this.  I get abot 30000 kcalories (1
food calorie is 1000 "real" calories).  So one donut = 1/100 of a
gallon of gas (a great rule of thumb to remember).  At 35 mpg, I get
about 1848 feet per donut.  Still a good deal.
