Hi Ken, Yes, range. Also, if you drive only a few miles then miles per gallon is not as significant as the cost of the car. I have a truck that gets 10 mpg yet I keep it because it is paid for and sometimes I need a steel body around me or a heavy suspension under a significant load. The bike gets most of the miles, with fuel usage ranging between 59 and 77 mpg. Seems to be related to which way the wind is blowing, the temperature, time of day and even the phase of the moon. When it is really cold or raining it is a little *too* green. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
