  1. Consider the following scenario based on your personal circumstance – and if you do not have a car (or you do not know much about your car), do a little research on the Internet about cars and “gas mileage” to help you understand the scenario.  Also, consider other factors (e.g., personal finances, time, gas tank size, etc.) that may influence your decision.   

    Scenario: You need gas for your car, and just as you are approaching where you normally get gas, the radio station announces that the CheapGas station four miles away is selling gas $0.37 per gallon cheaper.     

    Would you travel the four miles to CheapGas to save money?  In addition to a definitive yes or no answer, provide the mathematical calculations you used in making the decision and then explain in at least six sentences why you would travel to CheapGas or why you would not travel to CheapGas. There is not one correct answer, but the reasoning provided must be correct to support your decision.   

    Write or type a thoughtful response consisting of at least six sentences.
