I'm a little wary of undercooked ground meat that I didn't grind. Seeing someone order a rare or medium rare burger at a restaurant makes me want to gag.
Edit: For similar reasons, I'm not a big fan of tuna/chicken salad from chains/restaurants either. Just not enough trust for me
How about the new bean burgers? There is no gas shortage after one of those!
The history of drinking water in New York City is fascinating. After the American Revolution, New York City gave the opportunity to supply cleaner drinking water to a company headed by Aaron Burr, the Manhattan Company. Unfortunately, the Manhattan Company chose to use water from the pond from inside New York City, which was not clean water. As I recall, New York City had frequent outbreaks of cholera. The Manhattan Company also got a banking license and chose to focus on banking, rather than supplying clean water.
Eventually, the Manhattan Company merged with another company and became – wait for it – Chase Manhattan.

"We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world." --M. Proust
That's cool!
We interrupt this subthread to get you back to the main thread...
Down to about a half a tank, I decided to gas it up today just in case. That gabe me the opportunity to calculate my mileage on that half tank.
Over the life of the car, I have averaged 30 mpg. My hypermiling efforts yielded.... drumroll please.... 38 mpg!
Yep. Almost 30% improved mileage!
My driving game is not as eco friendly as yours. If my GPS says I will arrive at “x” time, I make a wager with myself that I will make it in “x” minus “y”. I usually win unless the Highway Patrol is out in force.
BTW, one of the few advantages of being old is that the police usually just tell me to slow down so that I can get home to my rocking chair safely.
Nicely done. I find I get +20% on a pretty regular basis, making sure to avoid unsafe situations like those described in the article posted above about the extreme hypermiler. +30% is possible, but harder. My reference is the lovely Mrs. Phredd, who has no interest in adjusting her habits.
I'm not the first to notice that our warmer weather helps, as does the removal of the snow tires...those are worth several mpg, but in the winter they're worth not hitting a tree.
