My uncle posted this meme online this morning. I don’t drink coffee, but I sometimes think I would enjoy starting to. My wife seems very relaxed in the morning having her coffee cup in hand – and it gives her a boost to get going.
Despite not taking in much caffeine, I do move a lot. My Apple watch says that I walked 1,343.2 miles last year, which is +49% (1.5x) greater than the “average human”. That’s pretty good, but honestly I thought I would be a bit higher.
I tacked on another 654 miles biking in 2025. ChatGPT says the average American only bikes about 50 miles a year, so that’s a big difference (13x). Yes, my bike is an eBike, but mine is a Class 1 type that requires you to pedal to get a boost.
I can’t think of anything I else that I do that adds up to any significant mileage beyond what is captured in walking & biking. I don’t ski enough and I haven’t skateboarded in quite some time.
Maybe I need to start drinking coffee to up my numbers!
How much of a coffee / caffeine drinker are you? Are you getting a good miles / gallon number?

I drink two cups per day, which works out to 45 gallons per year. I am walking at least 2 miles per day with my dogs which works out to 730 miles per yea, so multiply by 150% to capture the walking I am doing without my cell phone for a total of 1,095 per year. 1095 miles / 45 gallons= 24.3 MPG. I am a modern SUV driving on the open highway.
