My F 250 takes 39.5 gallons of diesel, but I get 21 miles to a gallon. Its nice.

You must have an older one because you have he dual tanks (front &rear)
Because my 250 only takes 38 gallons

 

[NYMedic828]

21 is pretty solid for a truck but it's still a lot more per gallon cost wise.

F-250s are sweet though.

Red ones are the best

Amen to that! Red is the only color good enough......

And yea, 1993, dual 19.5 gallon tanks.

True. But the turbo diesel is so nice when you haul tons of hay or feed, or a stock trailer full of cows. Stuff like that.

And you cut the muffler out sounds like a combination between a Cat D8 and a Gulfstream-V. Awesome....

Gas trucks sound stupid with no muffler.

'92 Honda Civic

42 MPG Highway
35 MPG City
39 MPG Volcano (my average)

We've got a total of about 30 miles of Highway on Maui (55 MPH), through three arteries. I usually stick to driving around the Volcano on off-times and hit 8 lights each way, to and from work a few days a week,

I live at about 2,500 feet up Mt. Haleakala. For the most part I coast downhill on one of the major arteries (10 mile stretch!) and take the more gently sloping back roads home.

Procotored NREMT-B stations this am. Borderline painful...let me tell you! I just kept telling myself, "you were this awkward at some point too..."

Bring em to Texas we got an express line.

True.

Sure our libraries suck and we've stopped funding healthcare for 100s of thousands of people (mostly women) across the state but we have no problem spending 2.5 million to prove we're tough on crime.

2 million dollars to execute a death row inmate vs 700k per 40 years in supermax facility

Difference = 1.3 million dollars

1.3 million dollars =

13 new police officers (training and first year salary)
or
20 new teachers
or
7500 well woman health care check ups
or
10 paid scholarships to medical school
or
360 scholarships to paramedic school
or
4500 years of birth control (avoiding 200-250 unplanned pregnancies costing 15k each or about 3.5 million dollars)
or
School supplies for 6000 school children

Yay Texas, we're number one in hyper expensive corpses gotta love seeing justice carried out.

Why does it cost 2 million? Give me $100 and some IV KCL and ill get the job done.

 

[Veneficus]

42 MPG Highway
35 MPG City
39 MPG Volcano (my average)

The last car I owned in the US before moving to Europe (where I have no need of a car)

1.9L diesel VW Jetta,

35-45 mpg city. (depending mostly on traffic)

55-60 highway. (depending on air in the tires and how close I was to getting the water out of the tank)

Filled the tank, drove from Cleveland, Ohio to Niagra Falls, Canada, spent 3 days in the city, drove to Toronto, Canada, 3 more days in the city and back, parked my car in the parking lot at home with 1/4 tank of fuel left.

If I ever buy another car again, it will definately be a diesel VW or Mercedes. (same engine)

Too easy...You're forgetting this is a government run operation

So. then it goes to the lowest bidder!

The hospital is slammed today. Every floor is full. We have 6 patients in various other departments waiting to get transfered and ICU trying to d/c patients down to us. We just turfed all our code 2/3 patients to Ortho, I'm sure they loved that.

 

[lightsandsirens5]

$50 and a syringe full of air.

$10.80. Keep the ten. Ought-six is about .80/round.

Very cheap.

And the labor for digging should be cheap (free) too.

 

[Jambi]

Change of pace!

Anyone else an INTJ?

and one of my favorites!

Great car. Friend has one.

Honestly wish I bought one instead of my wrangler. And the jetta is $10,000 cheaper too.
