How efficient does my car need to be to achieve tubes that are as thin as a strand of hair?
According to Wikipedia, human hair can be 17 to 180 micrometers in diameter. So based on that, I figured you'd need to get between about 90 to 10,000 MPG depending on the color of, and location harvested, of the strand of hair you are using.
