NEFFA mpg

NEFFA mpg	June 13th, 2006

Finally got around to calculating mpg for the trip to NEFFA:

vechicle	gas cost	gas price	gallons	miles	mpg
rented van	$129	$2.95	43.7	718	16.4
Allison's car	$81	$2.95	27.2	670	24.8

Note that miles_van > miles_car because we didn't take the car to NEFFA on Saturday. Also, multiplying by vehicle capacity we get 197 miles-people/gallon for the van and 124 mp/g for the car. So the van does pretty well per person. You could have only 8 people in the van and still come out ahead.
