So if you are trying to keep up with the cost of driving your vanagon and you're now using Miles per dollar as a real measure of how much driving it costs..You have two 'sliding scales' to try to deal with at the same time. Gas and diesel have about doubled in 6 months and the dollar's real value, as compared to it's actual purchasing power in the new World Economy, had shrunk in half in the past 9 months.. Can you say "Double-Whammy!!"? We be getting hit on both sides..You are supposed to "turn the other cheek" if you're a *Good Person*. But, the only other cheek(s) I can find, that aren't already being smacked ,are just below my back and above my legs.... Good think I keep limber.. Don Hanson |
