After 200,000 miles, I'll have an extra $6150(61 Franklins) in my pocket & still have my Elantra. Most others, hard driving their Elantras....... won't have 61 Franklins or their Elantras.

In just one 200 mile drive, at 43mpg, instead of 30mpg, I kept 8 Washingtons in my pocket plus 8 pennies.

XYZ ain't adding his Washingtons or Franklins with the right time frames or values.
