Nine Day Recap
Total Miles By Car: 160
80 of those miles were for teaching and not to be held against us. So if we do not count those, we only drove the car 80 miles unnecessarily in the past 9 days. This means we only used about 3.5 gallons of gas unnecessarily.
I did not include miles ridden on motorcycle. This comes to a total of around 180 miles and 3 gallons of gas used.
Total Miles Biked: 20.25 for Cheree and 15 for Daniel.
