Bookends
I posted the entry about the Hybrid car, and I forgot the best part. I filled its tank in Tucumcari. I drove, from the math in my head, based on the odometer, 600 miles. I still had almost a quarter of tank of gas when I hit Dallas, to deliver the car. When I filled it up again, it took a little over ten gallons. Sure, it \\looks\\ like a compact, but even with its two engines, gas and electric, the car is surprisingly roomy inside with good ergonomics. Maybe not winning any style contests, but then, I’ve never been known as a fashion consultant myself. Maybe I’ll try to drive it from one border of Texas to another sometime.
