Shadetree,
I love that sentence........It says SOOOOOOOOOO much with so few words........
It is difficult to get her to change her habits. And I said it was a car in that it can't haul loads like a truck can.

Even though she has the Scanguage for every mile she has driven past couple months, there is little change in average mpgs.
