Re: Long Distance Trip

Hi Efraim (List),

Do you happen to recall your MPG? Any oil consumption?

I'll be doing a trip from LI, NY to Fredericksburg, Va, to Memphis, to St. Pete,
FL, to Baton Rouge, and back to NY. All in Dec./Jan. in a week's time, towing a
car part way, and taking two days off of that week from driving for the New Year
Celebration and my brother's wedding.

I need to start saving my pennies to pay the expected gas and oil bills.  ;^)

P.S. WHAT kind of _business_ are you in that requires a "wonderful street drug
racer"?   =8^o
