Re: Can you solve Barlow's Quandary?
It just got real simple here too. As I told Lakedude some months ago, my fiance' returned from Europe last Sunday. Now she is driving my HCH "EcoCar" and my hypermiling days are largely over. 
I had the current tank up to 67.3 mpg and about 750 miles. She has it down to 65.4 at 803 miles.

Hi RJ:
___Lets do some math
750 miles at 67.3 miles/gallon = 11.14 gallons
803 miles at 65.4 miles/gallon = 12.28 gallons
___She drove 53 miles on (12.28 – 11.14) gallons or 53 miles/ 1.14 gallons = 46.5 mpg. Ouch is right!
___Good Luck

Lee's Hill? Sure that is near. As a matter of fact the Lee's Hill Property Owners Association has been a big client of mine for several years.

My graduate degree is in biostatistics. Lots of doctors pursue Master's of Publi Health at some point in their careers, and at the school I attended, every MPH degree required at least one course in biostatistics -- I was a teaching assistant for several basic classes and I tutored on the side. Many doctors I know struggled in those classes.
