Mileage! I do the work in my head!

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

That's nothing.  When I do the work in my head I ALWAYS get 18-22 MPG! <VBG>

        Guy goes into a store.  Asks how much the IH water pump is.  Clerk 
answers: "about $40, but we're out of them till next week".  Guy goes to the 
next store down the street.  Walks in and asks how much for the water pump.  
Clerk answers: "they're 54.99, and we have them in stock."  Guy replies: "The 
store down the street only charges $40, but, they're out of them!"  Clerk 
responds: "WELL, when we're out of them, WE only charge $36!"

The story just goes to show that, when you do the work in your head it's hard to
keep track of the rounding errors, and bias data.

     Chris,
     
     Ask Dan Nees to calculate your fuel economy - he got me 15-18 mpg on 
     the highway (without A/C), and he did it all in his head! <g>
