standardized mpg cost savings format   Message List

Re: standardized mpg cost savings format


On the subject of cost saving:

We run a ratio of 1:320 acetone to gasoline (4 oz per 10 gal). This
creates a 10% increase in MPG (conservatively) which translates to a
10% savings in fuel.

Therefore, for every gallon of acetone you run through your car, you
save 32 gallons of fuel (10% of 320 gallons).

1 gallon of acetone costs about $10.00
32 Gallons of fuel costs about $64.00

Therefore, for every gallon of acetone used, you save $54.00 (as of
this writing).

Best,

Dave

Sterling, Good idea to get some more conformity on how to report this. I agree that percentage is a good way, as it's independant of mpg vs liters pr 100 km...
