gas
Did a little "scary" calculation. (Im guessing you have miles on the meter)
If you did an average of 18mpg(US) and 200000 miles, you burned
11,111 Gallons of gas so far.
Oh, you also did the equivalent of going around the globe on the equator 8 times.
For the metric crowd,
18mpg(US) = 13L/100km
If its 200000km, same gas mileage
You burned 26000L of gas
and went around the globe 5 times.
Not going to calculate the cost.... I just don't want to know. (I retired my first cherokee at 513000km and my replacement is wayyy over 300000 now. I used my own gas consumption rate for calculation)
Note: all calculations are rounded up a little
Keep on Jeeping

Eh, it's a jeep. I get probably 13mpg. My napa speedo sensor sucks so it goes wacko from time to time. Don't know how correct my odometer is. Hell I know I passed 200k by now by my odometer is on 199495 cause I drove without a speedo for a few weeks in the winter. I gave up caring about gas. My jeep will always cost me money. That's just the way it is

Simple day. Re grounded antenna mount. Filled washer canister. Also space out my shovel further from te body so it doesn't bang on the roof no more. Simple day.
