Hi Rob, for the fun of it ( very telling to ) what is your miles per
dollar ?
just divide your mpg by what your fuel costs in dollars per gallon.

for example, my 20 mpg turbo volvo sedan at $ 4.00 per gallon, gets 5.0
miles per dollar.
Say you get 24 mpg  ( gas ? or diesel ?  ) on 4/gal gasoline - you'd be
6 miles per dollar, which is even good these days.
