I use my car two hours a day three days a week, plus trips to Phoenix. Wednesday and Thursday I do not have enough clients. I really do not think that our office staff is doing their job. The lady who does speech with my brother does the same thing as me, she just has more clients. She says that she drives 50,000 miles a year. She also says that she gets 20 MPG.

Right there is enough information that I am way smarter than she is. Maybe she has a reason to drive that much. while I have averaged 11,541.37 miles. I probably missed some fill-ups. She does not have four times as many clients as I do, but I have averaged 35.1 MPG and 6.78¢ per mile just for gas.

She lives in the same area, she probably pays the same amount for gas, but I doubt that she gets $1 gas discounts at Safeway because her mom has tons of medications. Her gas bill would be around 11.865¢ per gallon and $5,932.5 annually.

If I had a reason to drive that much I would spend $3,390.31 or $2,542.19 less.

So much smarter!

Plus she is shopping for a new Ram.

[sigh]
