However, you did not state what the savings would be. It is characteristic of the right here to throw rocks without providing information. I had hoped for more from you.

Heres a math exercise if you want one: :) :) :)

I would buy 60.5 less gallons a year if my car got 50% better gas mileage. And my car would get ~45 miles to the gallon.

Question: Assuming that I travel 75% of the average in this country for an individual, do I ride my bicycle more or less than the average person?

Bonus question: How many miles a year do I travel in my car?

Please show your work. ;)

(by the way... these numbers are really from my life)

regards,
cAPS

Thanks for the correction of my error. However, you did not state what the savings would be. It is characteristic of the right here to throw rocks without providing information. I had hoped for more from you.

To set the record straight, you're griping at cAPSLOCK for exposing your misrepresentation, but not telling you what the correct answer was, so you had to figure it out yourself.

And somehow he or she's to blame for that?

Little Ritchie, I figured you for a teenage level of maturity. Now, it's more like grade-school thinking.
