Everyone that said i should get a prius or a moped was being honest and serious they weren't answering my question but at least they weren't "judging a book by its cover"

To everyone that gave me honest advise thank you. I am only looking for 2-3 mpg. i would love to get 16mpg. maybe a programmer could get me there?

sorry for cussin and stuff people just **** me off BTW i will be buying my own gas with the money i earn from a JOB...
Cool out steve T, I meant nothing personal with the statement, and I apologize that I offended you.I'm proud of you that you have a job and your own money.I'm really no more an "as$hole"than anybody else.If you'll check out some of my other posts, you will see that I do have alot of productive things to say(IMHO)as, I have been working on automobiles and other mechanical devices for over 38 years.Although I have before,I am not a jerkoff,and being called one is,and could be personal to some, but,I do not take anything online personal. I truly hope you accept my humble apology, Tom Davis

ok maybe i did take that a lil personal i am just trying to gain some knowledge. If you have been working on cars for 38 years you ought to have had something more informative to say than just breakin my stones.

I guess i just really want to get somewhere with this, like i said i am a member of a few forums so i dont know why i would get all bent out of shape over one comment.

I hope you accept my apology for disrespecting someone that has over twice as many years of experience than my age (man your old). i figured you were some 23 year old know it all.

I do accept and we're cool.I'm glad you came back.....Now,let's talk about the age comment,"man your old" I guess I am old compared to you,but when I jump on a repair project, or anything else physical for that matter, I feel like a 23 year old not an almost 52 year old.........Until the next day.LOL

7000/13=~538G
7000/16=437.5G
538-437.5=101.5 G

101.5x2.50=$252
101.5x2.75=$277.75
101.5x3.00=$304.5

those three prices are based on gas prices being at $2.50,$2.75, and $3.00

My school is 17.47 miles away.

17.47/13= ~1.36
2.50X1.36=3.41
2.75x1.36=3.74 > cost per day at 13mpg
3.00x1.36=4.08


17.47mi/16g=~1.09G
2.50x1.09=2.72
2.75x1.09=3.00> cost per day at 16mpg
3.00x1.09=3.27

I go to school for 180 days during the year
3.41x180=613.8
3.74x180=673.2> cost per year at 13mpg
4.08x180=734.4

2.72x180=489.6
3.00x180=540 > cost per year at 16mpg
3.27x180=588.6

613.8-489.6=125.2
637.2-540=97.2 > The difference
734.4-588.6=145.8

I know i will be driving more than that but thats just to show how much i would save just driving to school.


Find any mistakes?
