Clemson Fan in East Carolina . . . the math

So,

 

I bought season tickets this year, and I just did a quick calculation of how much it will cost to drive my Jeep to all of the home games:

 

                        800 miles         

                        18 MPG           

                        $4.00/gallon     

Total     $178                

 

Now, what if I had a fuel efficient vehicle . . .

 

                        800 miles         

                        36 MPG           

                        $4.00/gallon     

Total     $89

 

 

Now, what if I had a hybird vehicle . . .

 

                        800 miles         

                        45 MPG           

                        $4.00/gallon     

Total     $71

 

So, over 7 home games I would save $623 driving a 4 cylinder Honda and $749 driving a Hybrid.  A new Civic 4-door Sedan costs an average of $21,162.  A new Civic 4-door Hybrid Sedan costs an Average of $24,645.

 

I guess when it is time to buy a new vehicle, I’ll have to get something more fuel efficient, but for now, I’ll just have to tighten the belt elsewhere.

 

 

Sincerely,
