This question was asked.
Quick Yes or No question.
With gas prices as high as they are would you drive 10 miles out the way (5 miles there and 5 miles back) to save $.10 per gallon????????
No. But it depends on how many miles to the gallon you are getting. The average fill-up is 15 gallons. You would save $1.50.
If you get 20 miles per gallon and drive 10 miles out of your way with gas at $4.00 a gallon it will cost you around $2.00 to drive the extra 10 miles.
You would lose money.
To make it more complex even if you figure the return 5 miles at 10 cents a gallon cheaper it will still cost you money, maybe, I think, I guess, who knows.
I take back what I said about miles per gallon. Even if I was getting 40 miles to a gallon the extra ten miles would only save me around 50 cents.
