Mpg-O-Matic : How Much Can You Save On Gas With A 40 M.P.G. Car ? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I live 20 miles out of town, so at least 40 miles round trip. My '08 HB (mid 40's mpg) improves my state of mind tremendously when I suddenly realize I need a widget for a current project and must make a special trip (as opposed to running an errand when in town anyway for work).

It just happened today, due to a math screwup on my part, I needed one more 20' length of 1 1/4" angle iron for a large solar array I am fabricating in my shop. As it would be cut into 4' lengths, I had the steel yard cut me 2 8' lengths and with the 4 ' scrap I was good to go, a rag kept it off the dash and the leaned back pass seat. Still a PITA but at least it didn't cost me 3 or 4 gallons of gas, but less then one.
