Hi Rob, for the fun of it ( very telling to ) what is your miles per dollar ? just divide your mpg by what your fuel costs in dollars per gallon.

for example, my 20 mpg turbo volvo sedan at $ 4.00 per gallon, gets 5.0 miles per dollar. Say you get 24 mpg ( gas ? or diesel ? ) on 4/gal gasoline - you'd be 6 miles per dollar, which is even good these days. scott www.turbovans.com
