Econ Tune

[Jackpine]

I think both of you need to convene the legislature to pass a law creating separate budget lines (or perhaps just use the wartime supplemental process to fund for critical emergencies like these). Don't forget, deficit spending is good for the economy right now. It needs all the stimulus you can give it!

And Shotgun, I didn't notice the cumulative mpg cell. Maybe because my old eyes were having trouble resolving the small image. Nevertheless, you kind of prompted me to get off my lazy backside and create a tracking table with similar features. I almost always start towing with a full tank, and I tend to fill up right after a towing period, so I WILL keep track of them separately. I liked your cost/mile column too. It would help some people answer the old question, "Would I be better off using high octane gas?"

I think you're using the dashboard avg mpg values (that you reset)? I don't know how many samples it needs to "stabilize" but Bill has said the Gryphon needs 100,000 samples, at one per second, which works out to close to four tankfuls in average driving. Resetting that display at each fillup sort of "skews" the numbers.
