leadchipmunk Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 That would be right around $5.60 a gallon. A liter is right almost exactly a quart, and 4 quarts to a gallon. That's close enough for me. But I have a car with horrible mileage (around 9 miles to the gallon, highway), so I was paying $100 a week just to get to work and back home.

GoToTheGround Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 He’s pushed his disabled son’s wheelchair through 85 marathons. He’s also towed Rick in a dinghy, swimming the 2.4 miles before pedaling with his son in a seat on the handlebars as they completed stages of triathlons. It’s all part of this extraordinary father-son effort to transcend disability.When technology allowed Rick to type, he said, “Dad, when we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled anymore.”That sentence changed Dick Hoyt’s life. He and his son qualified for the Boston marathon in 1992, finishing 35 minutes shy of the world record. Then somebody suggested a triathlon. So far, they’ve done 212, not to mention four Ironman contests.Someone suggested Dick try racing on his own. “No way,” he says GoToTheGround"The two most powerful warriors are patience and time" - Leo TolstoyTwitter | My 130lb weight-loss journey in photos & words Link to comment
