math quiz número dos, for dummies


20,000,000 families - couples - alternating week-ends, and alternating continents, times twenty gallons of fuel - round trip including round abouts - divided by fifty-five gallons per barrel, times thirteen week-ends, times us$126 per barrel - current price per barrel - equals:

 

just under twelve trillion dollars, not going to oil producing nation states, for just one quarter, ending on labor day week-end sept. 1, 08.
