Will some bored intelligent person please explain this with real numbers?
Lets assume:
49ers and Dolphins. Air travel to and from.
VS
20,000 Hummers traveling 12,000 miles per year @ 10 MPG over the average 20MPG commuter.
How many football games does it take to equal the ADDITIONAL fuel used by the hummers?

how much fossil fuel did it take to generate the electricy to run your computer so that you could bring us this? maybe you are joking, but this does not seemto make much sense to me...
