So 100 miles@day x 5 days x 12 weeks (summer) = 6000 miles

Some quick math:

Code:

miles	6000	6000
mpg	22	15
gallons	272.7	400
$@gal	4	4
Cost	1090	1600

So how much effort and cost do you want to put into save ~$510?

keep tire psi high, use your cruise control to stay near the speed limit, lighten up on the throttle off lights.
