This week I drove 372.4 miles, used 11.295 gallons between fill ups and paid $3.00 per gallon, all of which equates to an average of 32.97 miles per gallon. This amount is roughly 13.69% above my car’s average fuel economy.
This 13.69% increase equates to a per gallon “savings” of about $.41, and saved me $4.64 for this tank of gas.
Combining the $4.64 with the $56.18 I’ve already saved, my 11 week savings comes out to $60.82. Spread out over a 52 week period, I should save about $285.
I can think of a bunch of things I’d rather do with that money than burn it in my car’s gas tank!
