Does It Really Help?

So I’m sitting in my 2006 Tacoma pickup in front of one of those drive-through oil-change places, and this young man pokes his head in my window asking if I want the more expensive oil for older vehicles.

“Older”?

“Yeah, have you driven more than 75,000 miles”?

I glance at my odometer that registers just north of 240K.

“Does it really help?” I ask.

Which is what I said last month to my primary care doc when he suggested I cut out a few calories.

“Does it really help?”

Because I could use the extra $20 and, as a matter of fact, the extra patty on that cheeseburger.

Just sayin’.
