    Dohh!  (accompanied by sound of hand hitting forhead) This hasn't been
my week.
    Thanks, 27 Miles per dollar is still not that great though.
    However I still like the "stealth mode" concept of EV's.  That and being
able to work on it in a closed garage and still be able to breath,
regardless of whether or not it's turned on.
