Just a quick math check, a gallon is about 4 times the size of a liter, not 1/4. You should be able to go about 4 times as far on a gallon as on a liter, so more like 4000 miles per gallon instead of 250, assuming the rest of your calculations were correct.

Uh, don't know about curtain rodded prawn heads, BUT!

I have seen durian in the local Uwajimaya's (which as ethnic grocers go, is UNtouchable. Practically a tourist destination all by itself, but I digress). What in the world would I do with it? I have been in equal parts intrigued by what I could do with it and repulsed by what it clearly could do to me should I approach it without proper respect and a pair of welding gloves. Have you eaten it? How was it prepared? I've heard it...smells. True? How?

Thanks in advance.

Diesel is usually 60%

But it's only 10 cents a gallon in Iraq. ;)
