OT two+ buck a gallon gas AAARRRGGGGHHH

[David Burgun]

Don't know specifics on cars, but I drove from SF to Albuqueque and 
my speed rarely went below 100! Got passed by the Highway patrol 
doing over 100 they didn't blink at me! That was between cities of 
course. I slowed down to the speed limit until I reached the city 
limits sign.

The car I had was an Dodge Intrepid 3.5L and I think it got around 40 
MPG on the Freeway.

Also don't forget US gallons are smaller than UK gallons!

Cheers
Dve
