The document outlines a plan to research how much gas and money could be saved by biking instead of driving for errands and school. It discusses collecting data on miles per gallon of the car, average daily miles driven, and developing a methodology to calculate gas consumption by tracking odometer readings before and after fill-ups over multiple trials. The methodology would then be used to estimate potential savings from biking instead of driving for daily transportation needs.

1. 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

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. Research, step #2

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. Research, step #3

4. 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.

5. Methodology Continued Then I just checked my mileage daily and plugged all the numbers into my Excel spreadsheet. Daily mileage is minimal, but what if …
