Aussies get good mileage

A recent study by the University of NSW found the average Australian walks about 900 miles a year.

Another study by the Australian Medical Association found that Australians drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. This means, on average, Australians get about 41 miles to the gallon.

Kind of makes you proud to be an Australian…

  • It goes beyond pride, into the area closer to patriotism.
  • @Brendon I guess I should be glad I've got a fairly recent model then ;)
  • Yes Ross - 41 miles to the gallon.
    But there are frequent stops to expel excess water.
    So whilst the efficiency is good, those miles can be very slow with all the stop/starting.

    This stop/starting gets worse as the 'vehicle' gets older.
  • Pretty good. Almost on par with some of those American SUV's!
  • Haha you see I don't mind how far people have to walk home if they buy my beer, as long as everyone (me included) has a good time! :D
  • Mike I think you're reading into it the wrong direction - especially for a man who sells beer!
  • Woah! That's some serious beer efficiency!

    If only you could walk 41 miles for every gallon you drink, but it seems you only get slower and slower and then eventually start taking one step forward and two steps back!
  • RT @hgetson: If Australians walk 900 miles per yr, on avg, yet drink 22 gallons of alcohol. Then... http://tinyurl.com/9xpvql

  • If Australians walk 900 miles per yr, on avg, yet drink 22 gallons of alcohol. Does that mean they avg 41 mpg? http://tinyurl.com/9xpvql
