New Car!!!!!

So, how many of you dream of the first car you will own? Well, in this assignment, let's pretend that you just graduated from college and your super-generous parents are going to buy you WHATEVER car you want! However, you have to pay for gas with hard earned money you will be making in your first job :) In this 15 point assignment due THIS Wednesday October 8, your job will be to figure out the following:
1) What car will you buy and why?
2)
Google your car, go the car's website, then find out:
a) How many gallons does your gas tank hold?
b) How many miles do you get per gallon (mpg)?
3)Now you can figure out how much will it cost you to fill your tank. Use the link below to find local gas prices.

  1. I want to buy the Honda Insight (Hybrid of course) because it is very fuel efficent and good for the enviorment.
  2. a.It has a 13.7-gallon tank.
    b. This car gets about 45 mpg.
  3. a. Sams Club has the cheapest gas at 2.09
    b. 2.09 x 13.7=$23.66
    c. 13.7 x 45= 616.5

Viola!

Only $23.66 to fill up my tank!!

Then I can go 616.5 miles with $23.66.
