The cost of gas is a topic discussed with co-host Skylar Jordan. They mention the expenses of gas, tires, tolls, and parking. They explain the math for calculating fuel expenses, using an example of driving 24,000 miles per year at $4 per gallon. They then compare the fuel expenses of a hybrid car averaging 50 miles per gallon to an SUV averaging 12 miles per gallon. The hybrid car has a fuel expense of $1,920, while the SUV has a fuel expense of $8,000. The speaker prefers the hybrid car over the SUV. The second topic we're going to be talking about is the cost of gas with my co-host Skylar Jordan. Now don't get me started on the amount we have to spend on gas, but not only gas, all expenses, like tires, tolls, parking, etc, like what is that? The math for paying for gas no one understands or thinks about. For example, say you drive 24,000 miles per year and gas averages about $4 per gallon. Take your miles driven, divide that by the miles per gallon, multiply that by the price per gallon. That will give you your annual fuel expense. Now say you want to find the average fuel expense of a hybrid car averaging 50 miles versus an SUV averaging 12 miles per gallon. The hybrid, take 24,000, divide that by 50, times 4, you'll get $1,920 in fuel expense. Now if you take the SUV, you take 24,000, divide that by 12, times 4, that gives you $8,000 in fuel expense. Now I don't know about you, but I definitely prefer the hybrid over the SUV.
