Would it be better to compare the cost of fuel? One gallon of gas for four dollars, compared to a four-dollar ham sandwich?
I shared this thread with a friend, who is a professor at BYU-Idaho, and he responded "Speak for yourself. I'm not zero emissions - I have an inefficient digestive tract."
The driver said that it was embarrassing that she weighed more than the car and the next person said that if the driver was not a hundred and thirty pounds, they needed to add weights.

I tried finding something more official, but it quickly became frustrating.
I do not have any idea how difficult it would be to pedal a velomobile, although I would assume that it would be easy to maintain 15 MPH.
A ham sandwich has 352 calories (
Ham and cheese sandwich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
If we can use the 225 calories-per-hour figure, a velomobilist could theoretically ride 23.5 miles per ham sandwich (MpHS).
I admit defeat.
