Say I am going on a trip that is 1794 miles long. The car I am driving gets 35 hwy mi/gal. If gas is let's say 3.30 a gallon how much is that going to cost?

also,

ffs calvin

/the dude

1794/35=51.25 gallons used on the trip

51.25*$3.30=$169

the reason i asked is becasue there is this sweet group trip in colorado that the organization i volunteer for runs. you get to go hiking for a week in the rockies and they provide all the food, equipment (tents, packs, etc.), and the guides for only $249/person. each trip has like 15 people in it. so the gas for each car would be split between 4 or 5 people.

anyways, i think it is an amazing deal.

The board? Try reshaping the way the entire English speaking world conceives of language.

I think I'd rather be left to die alone in the rockies than drive all the way home from Colorado in a car filled with 3 or 4 other people

If you're in college (or went to college), you know that the worst part of writing a paper is trying to crank out a bibliography/works cited page at the very end when you're brain dead and running late for class. A group of ambitious young students at the University of Waterloo want to bring an end to that with Quick Cite, which lets you use the camera on an iOS or Android smartphone to scan a barcode and have the app email you a properly-formatted entry (in MLA, APA, Chicago, or IEEE formats)
