Since I have to transport art back and forth to school during the 2008 – 2009 school year. I need to use a truck. I drive a Ford F-150 v8 that gets about 18 miles per gallon. I live approximately 26 miles away from Birmingham so double that because it is a forward and back trip. 52 miles per school day. Multiply that by the five days a week I go to school. 260 miles per week. Multiply that number by 36 school weeks. 9360 miles per year. Divide that number by my miles per gallon and you get 520. I used 520 gallons of gasoline this year just going to school. If the average price of gas in Alabama is $2.14 per gallon then I spent $1,112.80 on gas…I think it’s time to get a hybrid. At least next year at the Citadel I will not have a car.
