GOATSBORRO, TENNESSEE – In a research project conducted by eight U.S. universities, a startling fact has emerged. According to the findings, it is actually now more cost efficient to find a Pegasus, train it, then fly it around than attempting to operate a mid size sedan for one month. Head researcher Dr. Andrew Pilowski of the University of Goatsborro held a press conference on Tuesday and announced that “finally, after years of inflated gas prices, a cheaper form of transportation has been found”.

“We crunched all the numbers and found that simply looking for a Pegasus, then using its abilities costs far less money than driving a mid size car,” said Dr. Pilowski, “not even the hybrids can touch it with the current gas prices”. When asked about the cost of the animal, Pilowski said “The Pegasus could live up to 30 years and should only eat hay or oats or something. That stuff is cheap!”

The only catch seems to be that the Pegasus is a mythical winged horse from Greek legend that does not seem to actually exist. In response to this argument Dr. Pilowski, who has dual PhDs in Mechanical Engineering and Mythical Animal Husbandry, said: “Hey, it's not like we're recommending people try to find unicorns. That's just ridiculous!”
