    No you haven't.

    You gave a set of numbers and said show me which makes more money.

    Your numbers have been proven to loose money at 60 mph.

    Why can't you accept that fact.

    It has nothing to do with owning a truck or anything. It has to do with doing the math correctly.

    Something you can't seem to grasp.

    I will also admit that Billy Bigrig also spent more money on doing it though too.

    And here are the numbers to prove it.

    But YOUR Scenario still looses to Billy Bigrig.

    You've gotta take your head and put on your business cap

    Like I said my number was a example

    I did not run the math but I can dang sure tell you this

    Point A to point B

    1.60 each

    Driver in the slower truck pockets more money Or the truck with the higher mpg

    Dispute that lord of the highway

    I did the math out of curiosity to know what the scenario WOULD be had I been required to make that business decision.

    I made an informed decision. As a business owner should.

    If that part pisses you off, then you need to re-think your business senses.

    And I did show you my math. Even admitting that the labor is a wash and irrelevant given YOUR scenario.

    I've got a news flash for you

    4.09 isn't even close it's more like 4.12-4.15

    Don't buy a truck ... Because seriously ..

    YOU will not make it ...

    seriously?

    because I used $4.09 instead of $4.12-$4.15?

    I would suggest you take some business classes.

    You seem to really get your panties in a bunch when someone actually steps up and says your numbers don't add up to the point you are trying to make.
