I think there should have been a category for alcohol consumption.
And seafood.

My car burned more alcohol than I did.
(ethanol is in gas, up to 10% , so for me that could be 1 gallon per fill-up)

I completely overlooked 42 - that should definitely be included in any poll.

Because I am a consummate liar, I chose the diesel response.

I forgot to vote for electric but now I remember I have a RC car I never gave to my nephew. It's even a plug in electric. And no miles on it. I probably should sell it!

Haven't answered the poll yet as I am working on a spreadsheet that will assist me in allocating my responses across multiple answers in a such a way that I can live with the results regardless of future performance.

I'm laughing out loud! Not quite rolling on the floor. These responses are great!
Periodically I tell people about the e-r.org web site and describe all the wonderful, useful financial information that's available and I also tell them it's a funny, interesting group of people. I guess I'm not much of a salesman - I don't think anyone I've mentioned e-r.org to has become a member. Oh well, their loss.
It just occurred to me that 72 should have also been included in the poll. I often refer to 72 when calculating interest and related financial matters - surely (stop calling me Shirley) 72 should have been included.
