Re: Oil prices got you down?
You have a wierd speedo then. On the assumption that the 200 miles and the
time is correct,
when you are doing 66.7mph it reads 70mph ( +5% fair enough) but when you
are doing 63mph it reads 55mph (-13%).

time is correct,
when you are doing 66.7mph it reads 70mph ( +5% fair enough) but when you
are doing 63mph it reads 55mph (-13%).

Re: Oil prices got you down?
you are narrow sighted. u are not seeing the big picture
your right the car u drive fills up the same and gets the same milage but the price of gas at
the beginning of the month is at least 30 cents cheaper then at the end of the month so you do
the math on that .that is why people are buying more gas to save that 3.00 bucs at the end of the
month byTOPPING OFF THE TANK and don't say it doesn't happen i work at a dealer and hear it daily
from the customers coming in since we have a gas station across the street that offers the lowest
price in the township

your right the car u drive fills up the same and gets the same milage but the price of gas at
the beginning of the month is at least 30 cents cheaper then at the end of the month so you do
the math on that .that is why people are buying more gas to save that 3.00 bucs at the end of the
month byTOPPING OFF THE TANK and don't say it doesn't happen i work at a dealer and hear it daily
from the customers coming in since we have a gas station across the street that offers the lowest
price in the township
