Thanks guys - I appreciate the short notice flight planning assistance
you're offering - but truth be told - and I know its safer to fly than
to drive statistically blah blah blah... Plus I'm thinking the airlines
might not take too kindly to all my paintball gear, CO2 tanks, vests and
camo, might raise a few red flags with baggage screeners.
Plus I hate flying heh... Last time I was on a plane was when I had to
fly home from Jon's in 03.

Recent testing yeilded approx 38 MPG on the highway, over a 100 mile
jaunt. Loaded down with gear will lower that figure... but I'm still
hoping that planned modifications to the Neon will yeild higher fuel
economy numbers, even with my gear.

Works for me, I sure as hell ain't doing a good job of it on my own... I
prefer brunettes or red heads, thanks.
