A friend of mine drives a 3/4 ton pickup servicing dairy equipment.
Naturally that takes him from farm-to-farm, some at considerable distance
from his home. His wife commutes 30 miles RT to work. Their combined fuel
bill is now averaging $400.00/week, so he tells me.

Shall we put that on your tab as well?

For best MPG results, stay off the interstate if possible and don't use
the A/C. I'm getting 62.5 MPG this summer because I've changed my
driving habits. Besides, the secondary roads are more scenic and
relaxing.

I invite you to spend the summer in Florida. ;-) But seriously, I know
I could get significantly better mileage without the A/C, but then it's
92 degrees with high humidity...

No A/C is not an option here either. At 7 AM, it's 85° here. It will
be 90 by 9 AM, and top out about 115 ± 3°.

Ah, but it's _DRY_ heat! ;-) (And you must get sick of hearing people
from other parts of the world say that.)

But then, you have a balmy afternoon every summer morning in the Valley...
at least for half an hour around dawn. Break out the watermelon and have
water balloon fights instead of showering!

Actually, that's what I tell people from other parts of the world.

There really is a reason we call it Aridzona.
