On the new one, I've only checked mileage once and it was 30.24 mpg on a freeway-only trip. On the old one, I checked mileage today on a trip that was on 2-lane highways with speeds in the 55 to 65 mph range. I used A/C part of the way. Got 27.92 mpg. Not bad, considering at its next oil change, it will have a quarter of a million miles.

Interesting. I didn't do that well. 9/15 (or poss. 10/15). Got all of the "newer" questions (post-1960) but none of the questions about the "family tree" toward its origins. So far, it looks like balthazar is leading the pack and that's no surprise.

No, actually, it's a big "circle" created by the railroad tracks east of Bakersfield CA and west of the Mojave Desert CA that enables the train to gain (or lose) altitude. In so doing, the first car of the train is either above, on a trestle, (or below in a tunnel) the last car. There is a vista point on the hill above that allows you to look at the whole thing from up high. It's a big "wow." My response to thread: scooter

So, PB, do you know what the Tehachapi Loop is? Any train aficionado would dig it. My response to thread: sealed

Do ALL of them end with "ian"? Thinking about people in school or neighbors in So Cal: Minassian, Hachigian, Shirvanian, Yacoobian, Ohanesian.... No boring phone books in So Cal, that's for sure. -

Never seen that before. Nice design. Portugal has the coolest looking flag, IMO. -

I like McCain but not Palin. Like I said earlier, it should have been an "Elizabeth Dole type" on the ticket with him. Have you noticed all the Hollywood Elite routinely courts the Democrats, unless the Republican is/was an actor/actress? I guess it's easy to be a "limousine liberal."

It had its place. I used to have bushier hair. I was commenting on her general level of tackiness.

Did you see the 449 point drop in the Dow today? And the 500 + point drop in one day within the last week? And we have room at the top for an 80s big-hair newcaster who putzed her way through a communications degree, is the governor of a state whose economy is largely not hampered and self-regulating because of its big (oil) coffers, and just had a child, with health related problems, within the last 6 months? And I'm a person who votes for the person and not the party.

Your favorite President or Politician and why?
trinacriabob replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in The Lounge
Thinking a little out of the box, Britain's Winston Churchill is touted as a no-B.S. kind of guy. I like some of his barbed remarks that have been quoted. But, still, it seems that there are fewer and fewer well-respected politicians with each passing decade....
