So... most of us get better mileage in our cars than cycling! Too bad I only have my bike right now!
It kind of sounds like the HHO scams that just claim you can use water for fuel and then lose you in details that defy logic.

Miles per turkey sandwich?
Honestly, I think that is a better measurement, although you could have a small one with cheap ingredients while I made a party sub, but why get technical like MPPoTS, Miles per pound of turkey sandwich?
Cyclists do not use the water for energy, but instead for their cooling system.
