Congratulations!

Last week I took a group of teenagers to Mexico (Matamoros) in an E350 van. 15-16 mpg for the drive there and back. Trying to follow the other vehicle and not get lost, in the middle of Mexican city traffic - 9 mpg! I just shrugged and called it a trip expense, and tried harder on the way back.

It's like in The Matrix. Once you take the red pill, you can't go back to not knowing. I can choose to tone it down, but it's still there.
