Mileage Quotations

I do a lot of biking. I need that mileage and the long-distance stuff because tennis demands it. My fitness trainer is always trying to convince me to do an Ironman. I can probably run the marathon, I can make the 112 miles on the bike, but I will never swim for 2.4 miles. I will die after 100 meters.

Several years ago, when I was about to start a novel, I thought I might get some mileage out of the idea of a civilization in which people somehow felt - that is, they shared - all the pain and all the pleasure they caused one another.

The fact is, we didn't get the fuel mileage the other teams got, ... As a result, we ended up having to stop, which was very disappointing. Essentially, we came up a half-gallon short.

The fact is that mileage driven is a lot less predictive than where that car is based.

This product falls in line with Wal-Mart's sustainability goals, some of which are to reduce our fleet mileage by one-half, reduce store energy use by a third, and creating a new line of organic clothing.

So far, the testing is going very well. The performance has been good, and fuel mileage has been comparable to the 2002 engines.

Four of the 12 were doing the mileage runs. They just basically got off the plane, got their boarding pass, and got back on.

If the standard mileage rate was first used when the vehicle was placed into service --used for business -- then the taxpayer may convert to the actual expense deduction to offset higher fuel cost for the current year. From September 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005 the IRS increased the standard to 48.5 cents per mile. Despite the increase in the standard mileage rate, one should carefully weigh which expense -- actual or standard --they should use for their 2005 return.

Hopefully this will give us an advantage for this year. We cannot say we will be the best, but for sure we will be very well prepared with the new car in terms of mileage and experience. We've tried to solve all the problems and get ready for the first race. Now we're doing very well, and it feels good, although there's still a lot of work to be done in the run-up to the first race and beyond. I am optimistic and confident.

I wouldn't put 100 pounds; that's just overkill. Remember that the weight affects gas mileage as well.

People also changed their plans and timelines. They traded in older cars that didn't get good mileage sooner than they had planned.

Our attitude is we're flattered that people want to take mileage runs at the end of the year because it shows how important elite status is to our customers. I don't consider that gaming the system at all.

Pickups, S.U.V.'s, vans and the like represent about 80 million vehicles, with mileage of perhaps 13 to 16 miles per gallon. Converting those should be our first priority.

People only need to walk up to 12 miles per week or for about 125 to 200 minutes per week to improve their heart health. Our data suggest that if you walk briskly for 12 miles per week you will significantly increase your cardiovascular fitness levels compared to baseline. If you increase either your mileage or intensity, by going up an incline or jogging, you will achieve even greater gains.

My mileage wasn't as high as it should be.

My car doesn't get the best gas mileage so sometimes this is a cheaper alternative than taking a chance of running out of gas everyday.

We do know it did increase mileage a little bit. It does clean the engines out. Initially we had to once, maybe twice, change the fuel filters depending on the age of the bus because it literally cleans the systems out.

While consumer demand for high mileage vehicles has grown dramatically in the past few years -- with increasing interest in hybrids -- the best way to build cars that get over 100 mpg is still uncertain. We expect to see some new, exciting technologies demonstrated in the 2006 High Mileage Vehicle Challenge.

We got enough mileage out of our long ball tonight before the marine layer hit. That's the latest I've seen the ball travel here in a long time.

We have a good team coming back. Most of my talented runners are back, and we had a good spring (in track). We put in good mileage over the summer, but I still peg Mountain View as the No. 1 team.

Today's automatic transmissions get gas mileage that's just as good.

As between mileage and experience choose experience.

You can make probably 50 percent difference in your gas mileage just by how you drive.

You have to have a great handling car and a ton of horsepower and durability. It's a track that usually doesn't have many cautions, and that's what produces the fuel mileage races that the place in known for.

You get almost as much atmospheric mileage out of putting a boat in the middle of a street as you do from a row of wrecked houses. It says, things are out of control. It's creepy.

You end up with a number that's as accurate as an EPA mileage rating 'Your mileage may vary,'

We should be OK next year, but we have to replace Hatcher; that's going to be the key. He took a team that wasn't very good and made them good. I never got so much mileage out of a guy. He probably played more minutes than anybody in the league.

We are still getting through mileage and gaining experience on the car. The clutch sensor problem this morning meant that we could not get through a huge amount of work but the afternoon was better, making this a reasonable day for us.

There's a fair amount of mileage that city employees are putting on personal vehicles that we have to reimburse. It started to make sense to think that maybe there was a better way.

It was very difficult to get comparable runs in during the morning session as there were plenty of red flags and a short spell of rain. We continued with our compound tests, however, as well as putting some very useful mileage on some revised clutch parts to prove their reliability.

Probably two more corners and we would have got him. We had the fastest car all day. We stuck to our strategy. We only got six laps of practice, and we didn't have a good fuel mileage number.

People probably think we're crazy, but it's worked really well for us. We'll get the most mileage out of him if we bring him in the latter innings and have him nail the door down.

People find exercise 'hard' and few people want to exercise at an intensity higher than they have to. Walking briskly for 12 miles a week per week is realistic and does not require anyone to incorporate a hardcore training regimen. Increasing your mileage or intensity will give you even greater health benefits.

The National Academy of Sciences has made clear that mileage can be increased significantly with current technologies and without reducing safety.

The more customers learn about hybrids, the more they want them, ... in many cases, a (modern) diesel can actually deliver better mileage than a hybrid.

Despite strong winds which lasted for most of the day, we still managed to continue putting mileage on the engine and gearbox. We also completed some tyre testing, as well as brake and general set-up work.

The Bush administration's lax new gas mileage standards are unfortunately going to keep America addicted to oil for a long time to come and accelerate impacts from global climate change. The fuel efficiency increases are miniscule compared to what is possible with existing technology and the major reforms urgently needed to cut air pollution, combat global climate change and save money at the gas pump. The Bush administration is figuratively and literally fiddling while the earth burns. The U.S. can and must do better if we are going to leave a habitable and tolerable planet for our children and grandchildren.

You should increase weekly mileage no more than 10 percent. If you run 20 miles this week, then you should run no more than 22 next week.

This is an orchestrated political response and an attempt to gain as much political mileage out of this shooting as they possibly can get,

This has been a good day of running. We were able to do some set-up work and tyre comparisons. We also worked on some small test items to prepare for the new season, like different oil-level set-ups. This caused some smoke in the morning, but this is of no worry for us it was something we were purposely testing. All in all, we have gained some good mileage and look forward to pushing hard until the end of tomorrow to gain the confidence we need before the first race.

A lot of that's software. I think at some point you'll even have a button you can pick, mileage versus performance, because you're managing the system. And the other part of that is, it really depends on driving habits.

This pilot is a win-win for everyone - all drivers can reduce their insurance costs simply by participating and, if they drive less over time, can save even more. We also have the opportunity to gather mileage data, which will help us better understand the correlation between how much a person drives and how likely they are to get into an accident. We're always looking for ways to more accurately price auto insurance and this program is just another way to achieve this goal.

This morning's running was wet and although Mark managed to put more mileage on the FW28 we had to stop mid afternoon with a known gearbox problem. Alex was undertaking some tire testing for Bridgestone in the FW27C and also stopped mid afternoon with a fuel pump failure.

The remarkable character of this achievement is evident in view of the fact that in the period from 1893 to 1898 more than sixty-five per cent of all the railroad mileage in the United States went into the hands of receivers.

The administration has actually cut the mileage for SUVs, or reduced the amount of gasoline that those will be using in the future.

The new criteria hurts the hybrid because it's not a straight, simple gasoline engine. I've heard the mileage numbers will drop by as much as 20 percent. That 20 percent is the difference between a hybrid and a compact that runs entirely on gasoline.

The federal test procedure is laughably inaccurate, and frankly it doesn't make any sense to measure a car's fuel mileage by connecting a hose to the exhaust pipe of a car on a treadmill. We think consumers may end up with another set of inaccurate labels due to Congress' interference.

If you just take your foot off the gas a little bit you will find the Honda that it not a hybrid will get close to the same mileage as the hybrid does.

I do have a dealer car. But I'm putting 20,000 a year on those cars, so it's saving our department money because we're not claiming mileage (reimbursement).

Books are cool, but knowledge without mileage doesn't mean anything to me.

Knowledge without mileage equals bullshit.

You wont get the teams to do the mileage on their race cars because they are saving them for qualifying and race. Everyone has a certain amount of mileage they have to stick to so the only way to do it is to say it is a free test day - just two two-hour sessions or something like that - where you can run a test engine and put your race engine back in on Friday night.

The first question now, no matter if the person is buying a sports utility or looking for a smaller car, is what kind of gas mileage does it get. I don't know that people are looking so much for compact gas savers as much as they're trying to get rid of their gas hogs.
