"Do you understand how we got that figure? First you find out the total number of gallons of gasoline your family runs through in a year. If necessary, you can divide the total number of miles driven by your car's miles-per-gallon average...

"Or you could take the total amount your family spends on gasoline per year, and divide it by the average price of a gallon of gas. This will also tell you how many gallons of gas your family consumes in a year.

 Jeremy Littell


"Once you know how much gas your family uses, then you divide the total number of gallons by the number of people in your family, to find out what your share is. In Jeff's case, it's 2177 gallons divided by 3 = 726 gallons for him per year."
