The Photoshop Elements was free...well it came with a $1000.00 digital camera. Let's just say the Photoshop 7.0 I'm using came with something else as well. :) I think it retails between $500.00 and $700.00.

If you're a student, you can get Photo Shop for about $275 and Elements for about $75. Do a google search for "academic software."

haha! Actually decided the camera was too much for me, traded it for a couple computers and now I have a $300.00 Kodak that takes just as good as pictures, IMO.

If we are to reach 1,000 we need to get some kind of dialog going. So how about a discussion on everyones favorite subject.

GAS MILEAGE

When my 2002 Ranger had 22K on the clock it got about 16-17 mpg on the hwy. and about 12-13 mpg around town.
Over the next 6,000 miles I ran 2 cans of fuel injector cleaner through the tank. My mph went up to 18.5-19 mpg hwy.
I've been adding fuel injector cleaner to my tank every 3,000 and fuel system cleaner every 12,000 miles ever since.
I lowered my truck 2/3" and I was most pleasantly surprised when my mpg went up to just a tick over 20 mpg.
Putting a hard tonneau cover on the bed got me to 21.5 to 22 mpg on the hwy. I made the changes for the looks.
The increased mpg was just a bonus. I now routinely get 350/365 hwy. miles per tank. (17-17.5 gals) depending on
conditions such as wind and terrain. A 40-50 mph head wind or a 5-10 mile mountain pass that's 4,000-6,000 ft
can wreak havoc on your mpg. For the last 18 months and 10,000 plus miles I've kept very careful records of my gas mileage.
I've gotten a low of 14.28 mpg (all city driving with a heavy foot) to a high of 21.03 mpg. (all 70 mph cruse control hwy. miles)
Overall average for 10,385 miles is 17.35 mpg. That's 75% city, 25% hwy. If it were 50/50 my mpg would probably be 18.5-18.7.
I don't think those numbers are to bad. My truck is probably 500 lbs. heavier than a completely stock, 2002 XLT,
extended cab 4 door with 3.0L and automatic transmission.

Yes I have a lot of time on my hands. I'm retired.


BTW: I didn't like the ride with the 2/3" drop. So I put the truck back to stock and my mpg went back to 20.4-20.6.

This may take a while. Was just looking at a thread on another forum. It was started on 02/25/2003.

As of 03/11/2007 they had reached 970.
