    Since The OM was diagnosed with kitty diabetes, a box of syringes lasts about two months, whilst a vile of vetsulin lasts about a month.

    Vetsulin is $63.00
    Syringes are $23.00

    Not counting cat food, or the occasional blood sugar test which is another $48.00, what is the average cost of The OM's meds per mile?

    ******Extra Credit ******
    A bag of Purina One is about $16 and lasts about a month and a half, maybe even two months.

    A bag of cat treats lasts about 6 weeks @ $3.

    Mostly drinks bottled water, never really paid attention to how much, but it does cost money.

    What is the average cost per mile to feed The OM?

    I would say the OM cost per mile is priceless. Love the little babies.

    On satellite radio is an expert named Kevin Rutherford. he says most of the people that claim to listen to him for years and then call him for advice have no idea what their costs per mile is. "They don't know their numbers". It seems half of the shows on trucking economics are him asking the caller very basic numbers about his truck and the caller is virtually clueless. Having an iron butt is not the same thing as running a business.

    On satellite radio *was* a host named Kevin Rutherford.

    It’s kind of like fuel mileage. If they can’t give you a number but give you a range “I get 6.5 to 7.7” that just tells me they don’t track their fuel mileage.
