...and over the past three weeks we've driven 655 mostly-city miles on the big family SUV-type wagon, which got only about 16.3 miles per gallon on average. So over that three weeks we burned about 40 gallons of gasoline. That means we used 13.33 gallons per week driving over 200 miles during each 7 day time frame. Extrapolated out over the course of a year, that means we will average about 693 gallons of gasoline used in one year.
Okay, so now I know. Eeek.
Fifty percent of that would be getting my gas usage down to 6.5 gallons per week. Time to pump the bike tires up, I think, and ride to school and the library tomorrow. I'll reset the trip meter and fill the tank back up, and see where I am in a month's time.
