How much are you really saving? - A nerd at work
« on: May 10, 2006, 09:15:32 PM »
I just developed an Excel spreadsheet that will tell you how much money are you saving by driving a longer distance to get gas at a lower price.  It takes into account the following items: Fuel Capacity, Vehicle Economy, Fuel Price & Fuel Cost Per Mile.  It charts the savings for fuel prices up to $.15 cheaper and a drive of up to 5 miles roundtrip.  You just enter three figures to find out how far you are willing to drive to save.

Is there any way to post a useable excel file on the board?  :dunno:

I could probably email it if requested.

Aren't you glad you're not an engineer!  :hammerhead:

I don't go out of my way for cheaper gas. Actually don't have to, I have cheap stations between the house and work.
Life is like a bowl of beer flavored chocolate covered dog turds.. it makes no sense. :pokinit:

Where is the Mammoth?

I would assume .xls which is the standard excel file.
