More or Less

From time to time I hear some newscaster in the Twin Cities refer to the rest of the state as "greater Minnesota." I have to wonder, does that make the Twin Cities "lesser Minnesota?"

RCFM trip assessment

Amount budgeted for gasoline: $150.00.

Amount spent on gasoline: $107.81.

Average MPG through the trip: ~ 39.6.

That's average. It's that low due to the first part of the trip using Minnesota's E10 blend, and from city driving around Huntsville. I'm not complaining, though. The difference between budgeted and actual fuel costs will pay most of the motel bill for the stay in Calvert City, Kentucky - for which I had forgotten to budget. Oops. The stay in Center Point, Iowa was paid for in cash, so that one won't be a problem.
