Valid point, but with the fixed fee, you wouldnt have to waste time worrying about it. no matter if the gas is 7/8th or 3/8 or full. Your billed flat rate for miles to a point.

So if time is an issue, this will be a godsend.

And right now, the last market study paperwork ive seen has shown the following.

45% Avis Customers Approve and will use
34% Do not aprove and will never use
the remaining did not answer survey or were indifferent.

budget
38% approve
40% do not approve and will never use
remaining did not answer or were indifferent.

The difference between the brands reflects Avis=Business, Budget=leisure.

Business travelers find that more of a conveinence than leisure travelers.

The numbers vary by location.
