It's pretty cool, isn't it?

Anybody can go fast. All it takes is a wallet to buy a big engine, and a big foot to hold the accelerator down.

Going far, that's a different challenge. It takes a lot more brain power. And of course you could crack open the wallet and buy a Prius and let the machine do the work...but then you'd have to see how much more can you make it do?

Enjoy the long ride between fills.
