Regular gasoline, Cost of efficiency is per mile travel cost: 4/20= 0.2 $ per mile
Premium gasoline, Cost of efficiency is per mile travel cost: 6.25/25= 0.25 $ per mile
%= {(0.25 - 0.2)/0.20} * 100= 25%
Answer is D
Premium gasoline, Cost of efficiency is per mile travel cost: 6.25/25= 0.25 $ per mile
%= {(0.25 - 0.2)/0.20} * 100= 25%
Answer is D

shouldnt it be
%= {(0.25 - 0.2)/0.25} * 100= 20%??
Am I understanding the question wrong?
%= {(0.25 - 0.2)/0.25} * 100= 20%??
