T-Hoe gets 15 miles per gallon. I paid $2.64 a gallon for my gas (I thought that was LOW compared to my usual super unleaded price).<br /><br />According to my calculations, it would have cost me 35 cents to go back for my quarter! So you are correct, even though I didn't do those calculations in my head at the time I remembered.<br /><br />Your brother was also correct.

As he discussed the transaction with the clerk, a lady behind him was getting antsy said, "Oh for heaven sake, it is only a penny, what difference does it make"?<br /><br />My brother turned around and calmly and slowly (mostly to piss her off even more) said, "The difference is, it is MY penny!"<br /><br />I snickered audibly! So did my brother. I believe I detected a "Harrumph!" from the lady. joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.com
