Ok I got 52.62 because I calculated 15mpg average because I know there is no way it could be 10.
A better guess would be at about 18mpg....Which means you will have made 66.23 ....but both of those are really bad gas mileage averages and jinx's is probably closer to the truth. Ah well...heh...The good old oldsmobile.....

Yeppers....!! But you already calculated 20....and I wasn't going with 21 or 22..That's what I was getting. Until I blew the engine the other day. Now I'm lucky I get anywhere with any amount of gas.

Your other question, that is actually readable, answer: I have been complaining a lot lately about the price of gas for my commute lately. I had forgotten how lucky I was to have a functioning car. The price of gas is going to pale in comparison for what I have to spend on a new vehicle, all of a sudden, and I should have been grateful that I even had one. How does this relate to the conversation? Not only am I going to have to find another vehic. pronto., one of the first qualifiers will be gas efficiency, when it never has been in the past. Thanks for asking. Now that I might have your attention: Thank you for responding to me and various others, in other threads...You are very easy to talk to, especially when being asked direct questions.

Cic, I have a 12 yr old car that gets me in the mid 20 per gallon - I am so ready for a new car, but I'm having trouble justifying the cost for the same or decreased mileage. It just doesn't seem right to me. On the other hand being newly single I want a better car than I have. lookin at the Mazda 3 or the Nissan Sentra sport right now.

In that case, classicman, why don't you get a car with the highest fuel economy you can find?

A used car dealer down the street from us had a grey-market Smart car for sale for a while. It was something like $38,000...jeez!

Shawnee, you are $32 ahead.
220 x.505= 111.10 your reimbursement 220/10= 22 the gallons of gas you used 22*3.59= 78.98 the money you spent on gas 111.10-78.98 = 32.12 how much you have left from your reimbursement after you pay your self back.
