I think the above information is about as valuable as me surveying everyone's 
shoe size, averaging them, and then instructing you that you should wear a 
size 7.8 shoe.  Fuel usage is going to depend on the individual, their habits 
and their diet.  I don't drink coffee, scratch .4 oz.  If I get by with pop 
tarts and fruit roll ups for breakfast rather than hot oatmeal, there goes 
another .7 oz.  Beef jerky, vegetable chips and more dried fruit for lunch, 
there goes another .6 oz.  See what I mean?
