Payoff Calculator

I'm not good at math.

I've never made a spreadsheet.

If I understand spreadsheets correctly, they can calculate stuff. I was thinking a spreadsheet would be handy to calculate how long a mod would take to break even. You'd type in your current mpg, the cost of the mod, the cost of gas, the expected mpg improvement,...am I forgetting anything? And then, blammo, it'd spit out the answer as 'payoff in X miles' and it'd help you decide if the mod is worth it. Anybody here good with spreadsheets?
