☺- 3rd Math Assignment -☺

So, how many of you dream of the first car you will own? Well, in this assignment, let's pretend that you just graduated from college and your super-generous parents are going to buy you WHATEVER car you want! However, you have to pay for gas with hard earned money you will be making in your first job :) In this 15 point assignment due THIS Wednesday October 8, your job will be to figure out the following:1) What car will you buy and why?2) Google your car, go the car's website, then find out:a) How many gallons does your gas tank hold? b) How many miles do you get per gallon (mpg)? 3)Now you can figure out how much will it cost you to fill your tank. Use the link below to find local gas prices. http://www.gasbuddy.com

If my parents were that generous enough to get me any car that I wanted I would get a...

1.) The car I have chosen is the Mercedes SUV.
2a.) My cars gas tank hold (an estimate) of 15 gallons.
b.) My car will get about 29.5 miles to the gallon.
3.) It will cost me about $50.40 to fill up my car.

My car may be a little bit more expensive but what i found out is that it is good in the snow, it;s reliable and safe, and it is a highly recommended vehicle. The Mercedes engine only produces 210hp and 398lb-ft as opposed to the BMW which has a dual turbo setup yields 265hp and 425lb-ft.

That's the perfect car for this area. Snow is one of the biggest dangers.
