[Healeys] batteries

[Herbert Miller]

Let's see:
3,000/.2=15,000
178,000/15,000=11.87

You get 11.87 miles per gallon with your Healey?

I'm sure we all know that batteries are not the only products that come down

the assembly line and end up with different labels.  "Store brand" products,

mattresses, some automobiles, and gasoline are just a few examples.

There are four oil refineries in the San Francisco area operated by Chevron,

Valero, Tesoro, and Shell.  There are seven additional brands of gasoline 
sold in my area and I am sure that they obtain their product from one of 
these refineries.  California mandates the basic formula.  The only 
difference is the additives.

That is why I have no problem using the lowest priced 87 octane gasoline in 
my BJ8.  In over 178,000 miles of not paying 20 cents more per gallon for 
something my car does not need, I have 'saved' about $3,000.  I have found 
no negative aspects in doing this.  "The First Mrs. Hartnett" (my wife's 
name for the car) is doing just fine on that diet.
