Energy consumption question

[tinman0]

Can someone who knows outline how much energy is consumed by the following activities:

1. driving 10 miles
2. cycling 10 miles
3. walking 10 miles
4. taking a bus for 10 miles


If the activity involves a vehicle, then there is the human consumption of energy + the vehicle consumption.

I thought this was going to be about calories

i already have that information:

200 calories for a pint of Guiness
200 calories for a Big Mac

So in theory i can eat 5 Big Macs per day, knocked back with 5 pints of Guiness :-)

I would vary depending on what pace the activity was, cycling up hill fast would be different to cycling down hill, without peddling, wouldn't it?

consider a flat 10 miles ;-)
