Default Re: May Sales Figures

about mileage and money. i planned on getting 10 with the H2 before i bought it. i'm averaging just under 14 for my time w/the truck (life of truck minus test drives and idling in the dealer lot, etc.). and 14.8 on my last 4 tanks (lots of highway miles in that, no offroading (which sends mileage into the seventh level of course)). i don't know why my mileage is better than some other drivers. perhaps because i never tow, or because most of the roads i drive aren't 70+, but 65mph highways. or maybe its a fluke. who cares.

but i REALLY ENJOY getting almost 15mpg, not because of the $$$ (the diff between 10 and 15 mpg isn't squat in light of the cost of the truck w/options + bling and all)

i really enjoy it because it pisses off my neighbor, who's a bit enviro-nazi-ish. he asks about the mileage, and i say "15". and he gets openly angry about it. like he'd be happier if i got 8. The guy even came over to look at the 'puter readout on the dash because he thought i was lieing about it. and then he really got pissed.

which only serves to further my theory that most "cause" oriented people aren't cause oriented at all, they just want a place to belong.
