By comparison, gasoline holds about 31,000 calories per gallon, which at 50 mpg works out to 620 calories per mile.

But if we add more data...
50mpg at 55mph
1500 pounds + 70 + 70 + 200 + wtf a dinosaur weights let's just round up and say 2500 pounds. We have no idea how much Fred and Barney must weight to move 2500 pounds with just their feet.
So how much energy does Fred need to move 2500 pounds of car and people at 55mph?

Someone send this to xkcd
