Her present car gets 25 miles per gallon (mpg), and she is considering purchasing a new car that gets 40 mpg. Jenny now drives about 12,000 miles per year and pays $3.25 per gallon of gasoline. She therefore calculates an annual gasoline consumption of 480 gallons for her 25 mpg car (12,000 miles/25 mpg) compared to 300 gallons consumed per year for the 40 mpg car (12,000 miles/40 mpg). Since driving the higher- mileage car would use 180 gallons less per year, Jenny estimates the new car will save her $585 in gasoline expense per year (180 gallons 3 $3.25 per gallon). Suppose Jenny buys the 40 mpg car.
