Is that per Imperial Gallon or U.S. Gallon?

doesn't matter, because I did some gross estimations anyway. But for sake of accuracy, right now prices are $1.079/l in my town. Adjusting for today's exchange rate, that's $0.94/l. If we change that into gallons, that's actually $3.55, so I was way off. Wow, it must really be the taxes up here, because our prices are almost as cheap as yours now!

(that was US gallons, BTW)

I agree with the consumption and the alternative source comments whole heartedly. Does it make sense that, other than work, my miles are often spent going to car shows???? And I want to add ~50 HP to the ol' cabo. Guess I'm the problem not the solution...

Saw a diesel caddy for sale recently, maybe I should? I better finish remod'ing the bathroom first, or I won't be alive to worry about it!!!

Cheers!

How tall are you? I've heard the limited seat track movement in the Caddies makes them inadvsiable for six-footers. I've never been in one myself, though.

Short enough that it wouldn't be a problem. Need to sell my 'ol reliable oil leaking Camry b4 starting anything new though. Trans is going. Got 200k out of it so I don't feel too bad. Wonder if the 2700 duel cam would fit in the... er, nevermind. Damn this ADD...!
