I did some quick math

And rounded up for simplicity. It costs almost ten dollars to go to town and back. Bereft of cargo and at the speed limit, W3LLY got 27.3MPG. By many’s standards, “that’s good”.

I go with “that’s decent” given I’ve driven diesels and motorcycles. The latter will be useful until the weather shifts, it’s not only way more fun, but costs much less (in dollars and environmentally). I pine for the latter, but until America looses the capitalistic shackles the bind us, a diesel hybrid is something driven only by socialists (AKA ‘communist’ by today’s fear mongerers that are about to completely upend our electoral process…)

The math was sobering, especially as our ongoing war with Iran is a typical administrational quagmire that benefits the wealthy…
