I go back and forth on how much my time is worth. I expect the next time I take a road trip I'll still be driving 65, but right now I'm of the opinion that I'm not really missing that extra minute or two in the morning and afternoon. And, I'm saving about 6 cents per day extra.  |
That's like the 5 mile drive into town I have. If I have to drive separate I always let the wife go first. Usually show up about 30-45 seconds later due to coasting into my stops
