    Your SUV may get 15mpg but how many MPI* does it get? * MPI: Miles Per Iraqi

    Well, are you talking about pre-Gulf War II or post Gulf War II?

    Pre-Gulf War 2 the MPI would be much lower as many more Iraqi's were killed on a monthly basis (on average). It did fluctuate of course. For instance, Saddam was still busy killing and torturing his fellow countrymen when the UN turn on their extremely corrupt "oil for food" program, but the MPI did go up at that point as more oil left the country.

    Post-Gulf War 2 the MPI would be highest it has been it quite some time, most likely the highest it has been since shortly after the pleasant Saddam took power in 1979 (although, in reality, he was running the country for awhile before that).
