This is just a test

I don't think is is going to work correctly but I'm seeing if Google Picasa can upload a photo to blogger.
 

Holly crap! It worked!

MPG

Just a short post to sing praises of my car purchase. We've filled it up with gas 4 or 5 times now and our lowest MPG has been 25.6 for a tankful. As it works out, we're still filling up the Malibu once a week, just like we did the Avalanche, but now a tankful costs 35 bucks instead of 60. We're on track to save 50-100 dollars each month on gas burned just commuting between home and work. BTW, me and my wife carpool, so that save us gas, and overall environmental impact too.

Still, $35 for a tankful. This car has a 16 gallon tank and uses regular unleaded. We've been putting about 12-13 gallons in it every Thursday. I remember the good old days with my '97 Grand Prix GTP that used premium unleaded and was just appalled at having to spend 20 bucks to fill its 18 gallon tank! I think premium gas was about $1.30 a gallon at the time. BTW, that car got about 16mpg in town and about 30 on the open road (it was a 3.8 liter supercharged motor).
