I was/am using the same GrassRoots article as my reference and couldn't figure out how degrees applied to percentages. If it is an editorial error, then I am in good shape. (Always a pet peeve when the proofer/editor doesn't have a clue about the subject and just accepts what a spell-checker says it OK)

I've searched for similar articles with Google but it appears most are using this article as a basis for theirs - even to the point of quoting/replicating the degree thing.

I am at 49.8% vs 50.1% (where'd the other .1% go? ) so I am calling it good. No matter how many times I jiggle the car to settle it, it seems to come back to the same numbers so it is repeatable. But having a hard time zeroing in on 5050%, that's why I asked if close was good enough

I am going to accept that it is. I know it is closer than my driving expertise could ever notice. Guess I need to work on improving driving skills now, it isn't the car's fault.

Thanks

Paul
