diameters of cylindrical tubes corresponding to typical car gas mileages. the amount of gasoline consumed on a trip is the volume of the tube.
2/sqrt(pi(10 US mpg)) = 0.0215453 inch = 21.5453 mil
2/sqrt(pi(20 US mpg)) = 0.0152 inch = 15.2 mil
2/sqrt(pi(30 US mpg)) = 0.0124 inch = 12.4 mil
2/sqrt(pi(40 US mpg)) = 0.0108 inch = 10.8 mil
2/sqrt(pi(10 UK mpg)) = 0.0236 inch = 23.6 thou
2/sqrt(pi(20 UK mpg)) = 0.0167 inch = 16.7 thou
2/sqrt(pi(30 UK mpg)) = 0.0136 inch = 13.6 thou
2/sqrt(pi(40 UK mpg)) = 0.0118 inch = 11.8 thou
(UK mpg uses imperial gallon.)
these would be thin but not ludicrously thin wires. can the unaided eye see a dot of those diameters?
future post fakfxprw: many cars, stop and go traffic.
