The EPA estimates that aggressive driving (speeding and rapid acceleration/braking) during highway driving can lower gas mileage by as much as 33%. Suppose a person whose car has an EPA highway rating of 22 mpg engages in aggressive driving which causes a 30% reduction in gas mileage. Calculate the miles per gallon during this behavior. ? mpg If this person drives in this manner for 50 miles and gasoline costs $2.87 per gallon, what is the increased cost for driving the 50 miles?
