Math with M1EK, Lesson 1

Courtesy M1EK  Tue, 10/13/2009 - 7:30am

It's come up again, this time on the twitter .

The old road-warrior chestnut argument that it doesn't matter if urbanites pay a much higher percentage of their driving costs than do suburbanites, because suburbanites drive more miles overall.

This tactic is a favorite of the folks at various car blogs that M1EK frequents as well, and it's time it was taken out back and shot.

Let's use our favorite Houston road as an example, thanks...
