I have long marveled at the fact that the some female's that process a mind that complains about the price of gas can even consider paying $7,378.82 per gallon forChannel No 5 Eau Premiere Spray ??? ( when purchased at the 1.7 Oz spray)

You have long marveled? You must be easily entertained.

I'm not even going to get into the grammar in that sentence other than to say I was luckily able to decipher what I think you meant. But then, I haven't ever smelled Chanel N°5 so perhaps my brain functions differently for lack of exposure to it. It's possible the woman you are referencing gets better mileage out the perfume than the gas.

I just saw my typo, but no sense in correcting it now. As far as being easily entertained, you met me in Hood River. I can entertain myself for about an hour just looking into a mirror and making faces, or trying to figure out why people do the things that they do while driving, etc when they appear to be totally oblivious as to their surroundings. If you want to gain a better understanding of why traffic is so screwed up in most urban areas just pay attention to people's action at Costco, Walmart or any other such retailer. They stop in the middle of the aisle and leave their cart blocking the center, so that they can block the other third of the aisle while they look at some item creating a bottleneck with the on-coming traffic.

As you seem way to practical and pragmatic to spend $7,378.82 per gallon on Channel No 5 you seem to be logical enough to figure out that in Southern California (as well as other places around the globe) some female "gold diggers" probably do get better bang for the buck than they would from gas.

Or maybe I just ask for car parts instead of the perfume.

Thanks for feeding me these great straight lines, man.


(True story: with another one of those recurring annual milestones rapidly approaching, I sent Don a link to some car parts which I think would make a nice present for me. LOL!)

With all due respect to Don (that I met in Hood River) who is a very nice guy, I may have a suggestion for you? Seeing how you are a fairly fair haired, and fair skinned female have you considered courting the affection of a Saudi Shake or perhaps a business man from Qatar (the world's richest nation per capita)?

RMurphy

for so many reasons, that would never work. And Don is a sweetie. Probably deserves better.

He, and you are welcome to share in my bottle of tequila anytime that we should have the pleasure of each others company hence forth.

Reviving a dead horse...

One gallon of gas consumption using a Honda EB3000C Generator provides enough charging for a 16-17 mile cruise in a BMW I3.

This assumes the consumption of .45 gallon of gas/hr * 2.2hours at its 2,600 rated watts.

6.56 gallons of gas takes you from Randolph, NJ to Clifton Park, NY for a great meet.

8.07 gallons of gas takes you on a really nice drive during the meet.
