So... are there people to talk The Dark Knight Rises with yet? - Roger More Jul 20, 12:24 20

    - I couldn't understand what he said in the trailer I saw, so I'm a bit concened. - Dr.Vermin Jul 20, 13:10 3

        Oh, nice. My spirits are buoyed. Thanks! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 20, 13:14

  - Yes, if you assume all highway mileage. I prefer to use combined since there will be both city and highway miles. -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 13:07

    - 39 HWY -- (link) - oblique Jul 20, 13:05
  - Each car drives 705k miles in 47 years. The normal pays $72k in gas in that time, the hybrid pays $64k -- nm - Max Jul 20, 12:56
