Over at Yahoo! News, there’s an article titled Americans’ obesity add to extra gasoline consuption: study. I can’t believe that someone wasted the time, money and energy to complete a study on this. Ask anyone who drives a pick-up truck and places sand bags or other hefty items in the box for traction in winter what happens to their gas mileage. *hint* It doesn’t get any better… It only makes sense that if the bodies in the cars are heavier they will also make an impact in the mileage of vehicles. Cars and trucks don’t care if the extra weight is coming from a piece of furniture, sand bags, or extra bodies, the mileage is affected by the overall weight.
