5 cents extra per mile? You may need to do a bit of math. Assuming only 1500 mile intervals, that assumes you paid 75 bucks in _additional_ money for oil. Tell you what, I'll sell you Redline oil for only 12 USD a quart. Or Mobil 1 for only 7.50. That's cheap compared to whatever you're buying. tom On 2 Jun 2004 at 13:40, Edward Morrell wrote: > be a workable approach.
