I've read this before. Decided to check the numbers.

Twenty-two gallons is 440 gallons of five-percent beer, which is 1,760  
quarts, which is 3,560 pints times 16 ounces, which is 56,320 ounces,  
divided by 12 ounces per beer equals 12.8 beers per day.

Even I drink far fewer than that. Which means that my mileage is far  
superior.

And of course we homesteaders are not average Americans when it comes  
to walking.

I am almost certainly getting about five hundred miles per gallon.

My carbon footprint impresses even me.
