J.D., did you take the ferry to Friday Harbor? My folks live there. Nice place to visit. Melissa, your guesstimated price for premium might be high. I live in O.C. (not exactly an inexpensive region)...

Very irrelavant information. Seems to be a clone of the popular Streets & Trips from microsoft, except that it factors wear and tear on the car also which this one does not do that. Pretty much...

For current GRS readers (in 2020), this is a great example of the kind of article I intend to “bring forward” in the future. The GRS archives currently contain 3121 published articles spanning fourteen...

I no longer own a car, but in the late stages of ownership, after an engine replacement and other fun repair experiences, I learned my lesson and ceased to look for cheap gas. Cheap gas is not worth...

In reply to J.D.. Congrats on the car! I know it was a thoughtful decision. Also this looks different, keep it going. I would say many people enjoy your posts. I do. 🙂 Thanks!

“In many cases, it makes more sense to keep (or buy) an older fuel-efficient vehicle than to buy a new one.” Hear, hear! We had a brief scare last September with my wife’s car so we flirted with an...
