Me too! I can't help but do the mental math for my old Tundra each time I fill up. It typically goes something like this: ... ah lets see, 602 miles, thats about a tank-and-two-thirds for the Tundra .. say 34 gals, and gas is currently 3.61, so thats ...about 18 MPG, (sounds about right!) and about 20 cents-a-mile. I went 602 in the TCH and bought 13.4 gallons, so thats... 44.9 MPG (at least, in the summer) or about ....08 cents per gallon <giggle>,<giggle>, ,<giggle>.

I just can't help it.

It is the ignorant among us that will eventually destroy us all.
