I'd definantly change the MPG bar to MTE on the dash if it was an option. Maybe I'll see if the next softwate upgrade has it. I paused that last night as the one before took almost an hour.

That's pretty accurate. My wife didn't fill up when it was almost empty, so I ran into it last night cutting off the radio to ask if I wanted it to find a gas station for me. I guess I like consistant and predictable operation; acceleration, cornering, stopping, gas mileage, etc. I could...

It's supposed to get 30 hwy, 33 in town. The 21mpg day we almost ran out of gas because it said we had half a tank then it dropped really fast. We should have been able to make it. By the time I got to the next station I filled it the entire tank rating. Think of how inaccurate Jeep gauges...

So my hybrid got 21mpg on a winter drive on the interstate. This is what it got driving 25 miles home tonight half interstate in town, half stop light streets with little traffic. Wildly inconsistant fuel mileage. I'd rather it just average 28 and be done with it. It's impossible to...

A guy in my high school went from gray sideburns as a freshman to full gray hair by graduation. I've had 3 colonoscopies and 2 rectal surgeries. A finger here or there isn't the worst. One surgery I was off work for a month, maybe six weeks. It was sort if a blur where I'd get up, take some...

I think the sweatshirt gives away the problem.

We have been in the house 22 years. To the west of us, the houses aren't much bigger, but newer and much more expensive. Easy $10k to 15k range of taxes. There are $1-2 million houses on a nearby lake. Those would pay 15k-30k a year. I think we are 6th in the country for levy rates. They...

That's my goal now. Retire early, work as little as possible for cash. A garden to sell excess and eat cheaper/better. Get tax rates as low as possible. Tune out before it gets crazier. I've been doing an analysis for a couple years on how much is needed. My utilities analysis needs a good...

We don't have enough people to pay that. School comes out of property taxes and ours are some of the highest in the country. Mine are ~$6500/year. My house is almost paid off and it will still cost $1000/month for property taxes and insurance to live here.
