I admit my original thought was just as accused - to burn more fuel to get a better average. But it seems history is full of valuable things being learned by accident - or as byproducts of something else.

You want me to be honest? It seems like you are playing on someone else's post because you found a way to redeem yourself.

And it's not necessary. Roll with the punches and move on.

WE ALL do wasteful things from time to time. Nobody is "picking on you", so there's no need to defend yourself.

Moving along...
