OT - Have you seen this ad?

[Eric Cope]

I wouldn't be too excited about 32 mpg (I saw the 37s and 38s, thats
better). Over 40 and thats good... (side note, have you *safely* aired up
your tires to 40-45psi, that will get you 1-3 more mpg). The true metric is
not $/mile, but $/day.

$/gallon * gallons/mile *  miles/day = $/day. If you spend $.10/mile but
commute to LA from Phoenix, its still wasteful... but if you spend $1.5/day
on fuel, thats making a difference. because if its only $1.50 a day, then
you could probably bike to work...

let me know what your solar experiences are. I found they take 20+ years to
pay for themselves with warranties under 20 years. Are you familiar with the
maintenance of solar?

And you didn't answer my second question. If we as a population are willing
to do it ourselves (which is always better), why do we require our leaders
to bully us into doing it ourselves?

keep up the good fight!
