    I'd figure on 7-ish mpg. The aerodynamics of flatbed loads truly suck. $1050 sounds about right, but you'll still need to do something about healthcare in the coming year. Maintenance should really just default to PMs and consumables. Everything relating to tires will get charged to your tire escrow account. Most real repairs will default to under warranty status, but your costs for repairs will be deducted at $100 per week from your settlements. Make sure you alert your RA person to whenever you do need something done. There's dealer downtime pay that starts after the first 24 hours... they control that, and are responsible for monitoring any billing by third parties to your account. Good luck man!

    Are they still offering that el-cheapo catastrophic injury policy? It's better than nothing, and will cover you if you happen to be in a complete Charlie Foxtrot.

    I was in class with a lady who was going to be driving with her husband. They have been on Dins board awhile and had nothing but good to say about him. I met a couple other drivers if his and they were the same way so Im hoping he meets the hype Im hearing.

    Yes, they still offer the "gap" insurance. At least they did this morning...
