That doesn't tell me what your MPG is. Do this little test. Next time
you fill up on gas, set the trip meter to 0. Drive as you normally do.
When it's time for the next fill-up, divide the number on your trip meter
by the gallons you put in your tank.

I'm curious as to what you are getting.

Don't you know? In MSN fantasy land, everyone drives the exact same
car, the economy is totally static, and cost savings affect everyone
equally.

Under your above conditions that don't exist in the "real world", I'll
agree. But anyplace out side of Disneyland, more gas would be saved if
the government outlawed SUVs then if there were no fat people. Why don't
someone make an MSN money comentary about that?

ON you? As in he didn't aim his butt properly and it was momentarily on
your thigh, or was he like in your lap the entire trip?
