This gadget can be found at www.mileagelogger.com and it logs your mileage automatically, no need for pen and paper. IRS just increased the mileage rate from 50.5 to 58.5 cents per mile so you can deduct more money for your business.

Packaging is more expensive than the beer itself, at least with glass bottles. As far as miles per gallon, I found that driving 55 instead of 70 increased my miles per gallon from 25 to 30. With fuel at $4.50 per gal, you save $3 every 100 miles. Natural Light keg prices are lower per gallon than gas. Packaging is more expensive than the beer itself, at least with glass bottles.

I don't know if I want to come to Alaska to see the $13 models either. I would think that homebrewing is big in Alaska at those prices....or the beer is really special. I just fixed the car with new fluids, correct air pressure, new exhaust, and a clean mass air flow sensor. I got a 45% increase in mileage. Perhaps some of the best spent $100 on my car to date! Quick payback if I'd drive more. Not driving allows for more brewing. Not a bad feedback loop. I don’t see $2.25 6-packs any more than I see $13 6-packs.

I sniggered at first, then I thought to do the math: $4 a gallon equates to $2.25 a six-pack... I don't know when I've ever seen a $2.25 six-pack in my lifetime. But I love the slower consumption analogy -- perfect! ““Beer, now cheaper than gas” remains incorrect.”
