I'm sick and need help

**efusco** · 12-22-2005, 12:41 PM

I'd taken the extension cord for my Engine block heater out of the car while my wife used it last weekend.

I forgot to put it back in the car. I remembered that this morning on the way to work....at 6:30am.

I couldn't stand it and stopped at a local supermarket and bought a 25ft. cord just so I could plug the car in while at work today.

Help me!

How cold does it get where you live and how much does having the EBH help your fuel savings?

If saving fuel is sick then we need to infect more people.

It CAN get pretty cold--rarely sub-zero though. Today a blistering cold....ah, mid-50s.

How much does it help? Hard to say exactly. I think it's going to give me about a 2mpg boost over last year judging by November's numbers. But December's numbers aren't going to be as good thanks to some long highway speed driving by my wife.

Trust me, stopping for an extension cord for a day like today is sick...no way to rationalize it.

i'd say that's a definite full-blown case of fueleconomitis, doc.

Are you working on an antidote?

as soon as i write the grant and get funding for it. could be a while as i assemble the top team of medicinal chemists to synthesize some new molecules for me to test in vivo.

until then, try a a good dopamine D2 receptor blocker and see if that helps.

(tell me you get the humor in that...)

You think that's bad... When I get home, whether I drove the Prius or not, I say "Good Night Princess", and in the morning I say "Good Morning Princess" hahaha Meanwhile my truck just sits there unloved hahahaha...

I get teased at work constantly, because I don't have kids, and I talk about "her", her new oil change, or a new sticker, or something "we" did together over the weekend LOL

I AM SICK!!!
