And won't walk across busy motorways at night while dressed only in 
black. ;-)

Also, DON'T HIT A TREE!

[A nice mature Oak has brunches going up to 30 feet into the air, and 
roots going down to 30 feet into the ground. The entire organism 
probably weighs multiple tonnes. If you hit it, IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE!]

> 0.0027 tsp of gas per cylinder. (other factors ignored). 

Hmm, that's actually really small... that's like... 0.015 ml. o_O

That can't be right, surely? That's less than one droplet per cylinder! 
How would you portion out such a tiny amount? Surface tension would seem 
to make this impossible.
