Calculate your Miles per Dollar (MP$)

Stop thinking about how many MPG your car gets and start thinking about how many MP$ it gets.

Once we realized, however, that time equals money, we started thinking differently. We each decided, "If time equals money and it takes three hours to drive to a destination, not only am I losing those three hours that I could be spending making money, I am also losing money on the gas to get there." Americans now became obsessed with MPG (miles-per-gallon). It didn't matter to us that we were driving cars that sucked up gas; as long as our cars had a higher MPG rating than those of our neighbors, we convinced ourselves that all was well.
