I'll have to remember that. (Maybe it's just the anal-retentive copy editor in me but those Zero Per Gallon stickers/patches really annoy me. That 9/10 of a cent means 'not zero'. You're still paying almost a penny a gallon. That isn't the same as zero. Granted, I'd be happy to fill my car at a penny a gallon. Also, I understand that you need the 9/10 as a visual cue to let people know you're talking about gas. Still, it bugs the crap out of me. Maybe $0.00 0/10? Then again, maybe it's just me. (As an aside, I just learned yesterday that <a href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/2008/06/23/calories-burned-while-pulling-a-bike-trailer/" title="Calories Burned While Pulling a Bike Trailer" rel="nofollow">a gallon of gas has 31,000 calories worth of energy</a>. When pulling my bike trailer with the kid aboard, I'm burning an estimated 60 calories a mile. That means <b>my bike gets about 517 miles per gallon when fully-loaded</b>. On my go-fast bike, I'm doing better than 800 miles per gallon. Suck it Prius owners!)) Great idea about adding the bar ends to the bird bars. I’ll have to remember that.
