How many hoops did you have to jump through to land at that comparison?

not necessarily

I am so glad we stopped doing that here a couple of generations ago.

They can't reach agreement on how many days there are in a week, and everybody is calling everybody else fucking retards while doing it.

This changes alot though, because of the filter, the aeropress can take finer grounds than the french press. Also when you press, you press all the water through the grounds.

There are some pretty smart/knowledgeable people in the left camp

true, but some are worse than others.

I'm not sure you know what that word means

E10 has an energy density of 108,608 BTU/gal and E15 has an energy density of 106,814 BTU/gal.

This gives us tha the 88 octane has 106.8/108.6 ≈ 0.983 times the energy density of the 87.

1-0.983 = 0.017

The correct number is that the 88 needs to be 1.7% cheaper than 87 to give equivalent distance per dollar.

LLMs are fantastic tech, good at many things. Math is not one of those things.

okay so I had AI do the math for me.

"I drove a screw with a hammer"

hahah yeah, ~50% is the new 1%, that's certainly economically viable...
