The funny thing is....
...... nobody did the math.
A guy ( called himself a O/O ) called the local radio show and stated he just ran a load of 350 + miles for $700 + dollars and after he finished fuleing he only had $138.00 dollars left over. Then the radio guys were all " this poor guy " kind of thing. :roll: You guys are smart........ tell everyone what is wrong with this story. :wink:

Well 350 miles at 5 miles per gal = 70 gal. ...70 gal @ $4.00/gal = 280.00
700.00- 280 = 420.00 So this guy is full of BS. I tried to call the station and correct the information but I couldn't get thru. :evil:

However 350 mile trip would only cost him about $233 in fuel. 350miles/6mpg=58gallonsx$4.00=$233.

Ahhh Ridge...I was typing my answer out when you put the anwer up :lol: :wink: (Honestly), Only difference I was using 6mpg.
This isnt "rocket science" people, whats with the radio stations (even that so call O/O) not realizing the error.

Thats big money for half day work (difference in fuel milage)
@ 5mpg=$280 @ 6mpg=$233 diff=$47 Proof right there that slowing down and saving fuel can make a big difference. 350miles @65=5.4hrs @60=5.8hrs diff=30minutes
