Nope. The pickup was 80 miles from here, so 160 round trip puts it at ~~$150 breakeven. But they're 10/100 switches, so a big premium is not gonna happen.



Oh, well..... ya live , ya learn.
You lost me a little bit on this one. Why would it take you anything near 150 to get something 160 miles away? At 20 MPG you are looking at 8 gallons of gas. 8 x 4.00 a gallon is 32.oo. If you want to stop by Red Lobster on the way you are not really giving yourself a fair assessment.
