[A/S] MPH MPG Experiment

["Thomas Dickieson" <drighten@xxxxxxxxx>]

From Rik:

"""Another consideration for some is us is the time. A trip of 1,000 
miles at an average of 50 mph (a realistic average if one does not 
exceed 55 mph) takes 20 hours. The same trip at an average of 70 mph 
takes 14.3 hours. If driving down the road pulling your Airstream is 
your idea of a good way to spend your time -- as is the case for 
many of us -- then the extra 5.7 hours is not a significant 
consideration. But if one has limited time on a particular trip, it 
could be worth it., even at a cost of $9 (+/-) per hour saved."""

This is without considering that there (more than likely) will be an 
extra fuel stop during that 14.3 hour trip at average 70MPH.  Unless 
a person made very rapid, without potty break pit stops, this would 
mean there is only about a 4.7 hour difference, and makes the slower 
highway speed even more attractive.  I don't know about All a Y'All, 
but a one hour pit stop is not out of the question for me.  Gettin' 
older, doncha know, with smaller internal components, and larger 
requirement for caffeine derivative.
