[Spridgets] FW: New Mini Cooper

[Billy Zoom]

US cars have to be greener and heavier. It's the law.
It also depends on the time of year in California. When good gas is in
season, mileage goes up by over 25%. I don't think Imperial measurement
is a factor. A quarter tank is still a quarter tank, assuming the tanks are
the same size.
