They must be including miles traveled while being towed to the garage as well.

Maybe she should have said Humanzee. Or; Oh, the Humanzee-ity!

Got the sensor part wrong, but the number after section width is the aspect ratio in percent. This is the sidewall height in relation to the tread width. See sidewall aspect ratio.

It would be 12 fewer mm, but that still shouldn't effect your speedometer reading. I would imagine that speed is based off the drive wheel (rear wheel) relationship to the drive train, not how fast the front wheel is turning; so as long as the rear wheel outer diameter is stock, there will be...

When was your house built? If it is an older house, do you have aluminum wiring? I concur with a few of the other posters that it seems like an intermittent open circuit which is a very bad thing. If you put a high load on one of these circuits (hair dryer, etc.) and it cuts out like that...

Rusk? I used to drive through there on my way to Dallas. I have heard that one or more of the guys from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre were locked up there. Don't know if it's true. That place gives me the creeps just driving by.

You've stated that your new house has an electric water heater. How about central heating, clothes dryer, stove top, oven? Were these gas at your old house as well? If they are electric at your new house, then that is why your bill is comparatively high. Install a timer on your water heater...

I'm a power engineer for a large industrial complex and don't know capabilities of these smaller transformers. I wouldn't imagine the transformer manufacturer overdesigning their products by 900%; that is money on the table they are giving up. Internal temperature is the main thing to look at...
