my son is 16. He gets up, drives 4 miles to the first school.
car sits for 2 hours.
then he drives 2 miles to the next school. car sits for 2 hours.
then he goes to lunch - 2 miles including the drive through with his buddies. car sits for 2 hours.
then he comes home.

then he goes and gets a movie at the gas station, ice cream, store, whatever.

on his odometer he goes right at 280 miles in two weeks, and puts right at 7 gallons of gas in.

That is a 93 hatchback with a 5 speed. I think I could get it down to 30 if I tried, but I'd get a ticket or two if I did it for a full 7 gallons of gas.
