How Much Money I Spend on Gasoline

If I were an average American, I would drive 30 miles each day from work and back. That would equal 210 miles each week. If I were Mrs.Dominico and drove 350 miles each week, it would cost me about $43 each week in gas. To get that number I did 350/24 x 3 which equals about 43. To find how much it would cost you a month in gas the equation would be 1500(number of miles drove in a month) /mpg x  p= total coast of gas for a month. I still think I would stick with my choice of a car even after looking at those hybrid cars.

Nice job working with the equations! If you end up really only driving 210 miles a week - you will be in good shape with gas money. :)
