I suspect that people were so confused by the prospect of me having gasoline and an electric conveyance that they never went there. I personally did not consider it either, but I have seen the Mythbusters episode mentioned in post #6.

On a slightly off topic response, Mr. Perpendicular, I see that your avatar seems inverted to me, not so much perpendicular. If you wanted the avatar to reflect your screen name, should it not be going up or down, rather than across the top?

Back to the topic... I did have several people ask me about the gas, and the relationship to the segway, and some kind of started the question, but stopped themselves. A lot of false starts, and confused looks were more prevalent than suggestions to shut down the segway...
