FW: FW: Interesting numbers

[Doug Daniel <dougdaniel50@xxxxxxxxx>]

 i found this and it makes about as much sense as the amount of taxes we have too pay ,,thought you'd all enjoy it   




I guess I must be on the wrong page?
        A vehicle at 15 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 800 gallons
a year of gasoline.
        A vehicle at 25 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 480 gallons a
year.

        So, the average "Cash for Clunkers" transaction will reduce US
gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year.

        They claim 700,000 vehicles ? so that's 224 million gallons / year.
        That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil.
         5 million barrels of oil is about ? of one day's US consumption.
         And, 5 million barrels of oil costs about $350 million
dollars at $70/bbl.
         So, we all contributed to spending $3 billion to save $350 million.
         How good a deal was that ???
They'll probably do a great job with health care though!!
