In addition to considering how much gas will be used, the student should determine which gas station will be used and why. In addition to gas consumption, the student will include estimated maintenance costs associated with their particular vehicle. Remember to consider factors such as __age__, type, or model of the car when determining the monthly amount to set aside.
