I think I'll drink my ethanol, thanks
Since I upgraded my cyclecomputer, I've ridden 2406 miles. If I were to have driven that distance in my wife's car, that's maybe 80 gallons of gasoline. My cyclecomputer tells me that I burned 188,155 calories (food calories, actually a kcal). That's about 349 big macs or 0.13 barrels of oil equivalent (equivalent to the energy stored in 42 US gallons of crude oil). Less than half (46%) of a barrel is able to be turned into gasoline.. but in terms of gasoline energy, we're talking 6.288 gallons worth.
