measure your car's efficiency in furlongs per quart

spoiler 

since there are 8 furlongs to the mile and 4 quarts to the gallon, this is literally just miles per gallon times two

actually fpp is even funnier because pints are almost exclusively used to measure drinks, and it's literally equivalent to miles per gallon because they're both eighths

"furlongs per pint" sounds like total nonsense but it's exactly the same as miles per gallon

so you can literally just substitute it in

"17.2 inverse nanoacres" gets an honorary mention on bullshit ways to say "10 miles per gallon"

why are so many people boosting this thread. what the fuck

this is like, the worst units "joke" i've ever made. why is "furlongs per pint" resonating so much with people

@unascribed sounds very funny, also evokes the image of someone pouring pints of gasoline into a car
