Got his from a blog athttp://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2331218/posts Hard to argue with the math: "Here's some math from your stories that the average clunker got 15 mpg and the average replacement gets 25. · A vehicle at 15 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 800 gallons a year of gasoline. · A vehicle at 25 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 480 gallons a year. · So, an average clunker transaction reduces U.S. gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year. · The total is about 700,000 vehicles - so that's 224 million gallons / year. |
