The authors then tested people by presenting fuel consumption ratings in the form of gal/100 miles, and the mistaken impressions were corrected.

18 mpg = .0555 gpm
28 mpg= .0357 gpm
34 mpg= .0294 gpm
50 mpg= .0200 gpm
Overheard at the car dealership:
"But Errrrnieee, this Canyonero uses only .0355 more gas than that tiny little car YOU want to get. You are such a cheapskate for worrying about an itsy-bitsy .0355 of gas. Lucy's husband Ricky got HER a Canyonero, and if you don't get me the Canyonero too, no nookie for you.
Heh. nookie nookie nookie. The word filter is powerless
bbbzzzzZZZZAP!
