I was explaining to a friend of mine on how I was doing with the HCHII (via e-mail). I told him, that on my last 300 miles (1st tank of gas) that I was getting 51.7 mpg.

His responses was:
For some stupid reason, this pops into my head: “Act your age, not your MPG”. Would that now be good or bad for you? Let’s see, if you drove a big SUV, you might act like a teenager, (or younger). Now you get to act over 50. Yippee! I’m impressed. I hope to see it some day.

I pondered this for a minute and responded:

Let's see. My birthday is 4 months away. I am 51 and 8 months. Yep, that equals 51.7 rounded. Can't wait to get older now.

Boy I'm getting weird now. All that gas I'm saving must be going to my head.
