Elaborate Working in pairs, each student is to calculate the amount of gasoline a specific vehicle uses in a year. In making the calculation, assume they drive 225 miles each week. They should use the city gas mileage from the collected information, and select one of the cars from the chart on the board. Share and discuss the data and costs associated with different vehicles. Ask the question, what are some ways that drivers can reduce the amount of gasoline that they use.
Students can interview their parents in order to obtain the necessary information.
