My question: What if I rode my bicycle for errands and to school instead of driving everyday. How much gas and money would I save? Research, step #1

Consider the massive amounts of oil that is consumed daily in the U.S. It was 18.92 million barrels per day, back in 1998. A barrel of oil =40 gallons one gallon of oil is used to make six tenths of a gallon of gas. Research, step #2

Consider the massive amounts of oil that is consumed daily in the U.S.

It was 18.92 million barrels per day, back in 1998.

A barrel of oil =40 gallons

one gallon of oil is used to make six tenths of a gallon of gas.

Data Considerations: miles per gallon that my car gets. Miles to school and back Average miles per day for general driving in Sitka as in errands and store. Research, step #3

Data Considerations:

miles per gallon that my car gets.

Miles to school and back

Average miles per day for general driving in Sitka as in errands and store.

Step 4: Methodology: For mpg of car, fill up with gas write down odometer reading drive and then fill up again check odometer and record divide total miles driven since last fill up, by gallons of gas just added, and this gives you mpg of car repeat several times, and this is average mpg consumption.

Step 4: Methodology:

For mpg of car, fill up with gas write down odometer reading

drive and then fill up again

check odometer and record

divide total miles driven since last fill up, by gallons of gas just added, and this gives you mpg of car

repeat several times, and this is average mpg consumption.
