if there are black and white cars of the same brand , technically there is no variation between the cars . even though there is no technical difference, the white consume more fuel than the black for same distance and there is no difference in driving conditions,style etc., how is this possible?

the answer is not technical, its purely funny :-)

I got 3 hair brain ideas:

The sun heats the metal body of the car, thus expanding it to be 1mm longer then the white car. It travels 1mm further.

The heat from the body of the black car creates a low pressure bubble, allowing the car to move through the air easier.

The cars engine and components warm faster due to the black paint. This saves fuel due to the car not having to burn fule getting the engine up to ideal temp.

I know, I just can't think of funny things about 2 cars of different colors

[Guest]

driver of the white car is fat.

no one wants to cross the black car's path; it's bad luck?

they are both tow trucks, the black one broke down and is being towed by the white

I believe this is the correct answer

Wouldn't that go against "no differences in conditions or driving style"?

Well, driving conditions usually refers to road conditions, so those would be the same. and driving style, they have the same driver...not sure if that makes it work, but sounds good to me

[dyalDragon]

if the black truck is being towed by the white, technically the driver of the white truck is 'driving' both trucks... so the driving style and all other conditions are the same

its that there are more number of white cars than black so, obviously the total fuel consumption of black cars are lesser than white cars! :-)
