The feds are still determined to get my car

[Louis-Alain Richard]

Yes, Kent, I goofed in my example... (shame on me...) So you are indeed the
only one to read thoroughly each post ? 

In the car example, 18 mpg is 13.05 L/100km (235 / 18 = 13.05)

So in the original message where George Selby states that the gain from 10
to 16 mpg is almost double the gain from 18 to 28 mpg, he was indeed right.
My (bad) example didn't show that gain. 

The corrected example is here: 

Truck example :
10 mpg is 23.5 L/100km
16 mpg is 14.7 L/100km
Gain of 8.8 L/100km.
Yearly gain : 2288$ (500 km per week at 1$ a liter)

Car example :
18 mpg is 13.1 L/100km
28 mpg is 8.4 L/100km.
Gain of 4.7 L/100km
Yearly gain : 1222$ 

Sorry for the typo. Now I will have to live the rest of my life knowing that
the internet archives will forever show that I don't know how to count !

I'm confused. The truck at 16 mpg gets 14.7 L/100km, while the
car at 18 mpg also gets 14.7 L/100km.  Maybe I don't understand
the metric system?
