       Some surprising facts about energy, with respect to gasoline:
       It has 4 times the energy of a steak; two times the energy of
       chocolate chip cookies(!); 1.4 times that of butter.
              --------- [Food is powerful! :-) ]    --------
          The following fuels beat gasoline in energy per pound:
          Natural gas by 1.3; Either form of hydrogen by 2.6;
          Uranium fission by 2 million;  Antimatter by 2 billion.
