what is a "bar of gas"? Maybe, at the next fill up you can convert to mpg for the rest of us that don't drive ml500s.

OK, lemme get this straight. Your dad's ML500 eats candybars with a fork? I didn't even know gas came in candybars I suppose that's why the new Japanese sportscars (S2000, RX8, & 350Z) all have that mouth up front, even though they have no intercooler?

Strange thing to post. How do you know how much gas a bar represents?
