An aerodynamic three-wheeled automobile (the Dart) runs on compressed natural gas stored in two cylinders in the rear of the vehicle. The $15,000 Dart can cruise at speeds up to 85 miles per hour, and it can travel 95 miles per gallon of fuel. Another two-seater automobile costs $11,000 and averages 45 miles per gallon of compressed natural gas. If fuel costs $8.00 per gallon and MARR is 12% per year, over what range of annual miles driven is the Dart more economical? Assume a useful life of six years for both cars. Click the icon to view the interest and annuity table for discrete compounding when the MARR is 12% per year. Dart is more economical if you are planning on driving miles or more per year. (Round to the nearest whole number.)

The $15,000 Dart can cruise at speeds up to 85 miles per hour, and it can travel 95 miles per gallon of fuel. Another two-seater
automobile costs $11,000 and averages 45 miles per gallon of compressed natural gas. If fuel costs $8.00 per gallon and MARR is 12%
per year, over what range of annual miles driven is the Dart more economical? Assume a useful life of six years for both cars.
