Default Check your MPG the easy way...

I was contemplating how to calculate the MPG my new accord gets when it hit me there must be a ton of java based MPG calculators online. Sure enough there are and they work great. Just found my accord is getting 27.3 after a 1/2 tank of both city and freeway. So much easier than doing the math if you're as dumb as i am. By the way, if you wanna save the calculator to your HDD so you don't have to go online for it, got to file and save as and save the complete page. It'll save the htm file and a folder which contaiins the java files, so save both in the same folder somewhere.

I'm sure a lot of you know about these, but i posted for those who don't.

uh......didn't you figure out what would happen when it asked you to enter "miles driven" and "gallons of gas?"

DRfrank, it's "divide," not "devide."

spelling is a basic tool, like reading. literary degrees are for writing novels and poems and shit like that.

what's Cp/E E? computer/electrical eng? where?
