Finally! Back to the BIG issues. I only heard about it the other day, but I CAN'T WAIT to try it. :-) (I'm such a geek. Eh, I is what I is).
It'd have to be good to beat the Cafina Alpha machines at 7-Eleven.
I must consider all parametres when I go for my night "coffee drive", and a brief feasibility analysis tells me the following:
My XR6 Turbo chews up about 15.5L/100km around town (even when there are no other cars on the road), which, when I buy BP Ultimate for ~$1.53/L, translates to about $2.40 for every 10km I drive.
The nearest Shell Servo coffee joint is ~3.6km from my joint, but I have a 7-Eleven 1.2km away; another one ~2.2km away, a 3rd one ~2.9km away, and a fourth one approx 3.2km; all of which have the cool Cafina Alpha machines, churning out $1 cappuccinos.
Then there's the question of how many sets of traffic lights I must drive through on my way to each store.
For anyone who thought that getting in the car to get a coffee is easy, think again
:-)
