Ahhh, Master tvl4free, while I was duly impressed by your wizardry of the mystical Mileage Run, this humble Grasshopper must point out a small error in your mathematics.

$ 796.75 / 35,864 miles = 0.02 cents per mile for S 1-8

Master, $796.75 (or 79675 cents) divided by 35,864 miles gives the lowly sum of 2.22 cents per mile, not the impressive figure of 0.02 cents/mile. I believe you have fallen guilty to the trap of "forgetting to divide by one hundred".


Please, pardon my impudence. I remain your humble pupil,
