I imagine THAT has a very large effect on the results of this. More miles means more gallons of gas means accelerated wear. 2

These are the only two points I take umbrage with at this time.
1 - Yes, we do know how grabbity works. Gravity is related to mass, which means that even air exerts gravity. Gravity is specifically a weak force related to the mass of the two objects in relation to each other. Since you are in relation to all things around you, gravity is exerted as a force between yourself and everything around you. Gravity also favors the larger objects, because there are more energized gravitons in larger or more dense objects, specifically, there are a certain number of graviton particles per mass, and since density affects the area of a mass, a more dense object will have a stronger object gravity than a larger, less dense object. This explains why the earth (very dense) has a greater pull on you than the air (invariably less dense). Both, however, do exert gravity on all things in relation to them.
Gravity is also a universal force. It affects all things in nature, regardless of distance. I don't believe on a gravity/distance line, you will ever reach a point until infinity that one object has 0 gravitational effect on another object, unless those objects are the exact mass of each other with no opposing forces diminishing their gravitational force (such as centrifugal forces).
That's the current understanding of the force of grabbity, and it has been supported and calculated by scientific method.
2 - This is kinda obvious... maybe your fuel pumps all quit because you were working them equivalent to the few years they might have lasted under normal use in the relatively short time you had them?
