Well, 1.5 gallons of fuel is about $2.25 now, usually more like $2.
If the company wants 20% or $2, then that leaves you doing it for free to
50 cents per q.
Since we can get questions on the list answered for free, that makes it
competitive, I guess, if nothing else.
I would suggest not cross-posting. You could post individually to each
list, but when you copy both lists on the same message, all responses end
up on both lists, greatly increasing the traffic and crossnoise.
