Andrew.....Hey, man yer right, I guess I did. What I did was try to remember the fuel consumption and thought it was 26.5. I just took out my Handspring Visor and looked it up. The database reads 27.5 mpg instead of 26.5 mpg; WHOA, better'n I thought. I am using a database program I found on palmgear.com called Autobase and it does all the calculating......all I do is put in the numbers from the gallons pumped and price and the mileage when I fill up. Of course from Asheville to Greensboro IS mostly ALL downhill, but....yep..... (I looked again) and it reads 27.5 mpg......Cool!.... .........Rodney --- Andrew Fox <afox@cnr.colostate.edu> wrote: > Wow. are you sure you didnt miscalculate? > > On Tue, 30 Apr 2002, Rodney Kindlund wrote: > > > On the way to Everybus I stopped and got gas just > > before reaching the campground.
