Stan Moneymaker needs 15 gallons of gasoline to top off his automobile's gas tank. If he drives an extra eight miles (round trip) to a gas station on the outskirts of town, Stan can save $0.10 per gallon on the price of gasoline. Suppose gasoline costs $3.00 per gallon and Stan's car gets 25 mpg for in-town driving. Each mile that Stan drives creates one pound of carbon dioxide. Each pound of CO2 has a cost impact of $0.02 on the environment. What are Stan's savings per mile for the eight mile extra trip, including the effect of environmental costs?

Engine displacement allows enough power to accelerate from a standstill and to climb hills while also permitting the automobile to cruise at speeds over 40 miles per hour with little loss in driving performance. The trade literature...
