MPG (Miles per Gallon) V GPM (Gallons per Mile)

So, the big news right now is that using Gallons per Mile may be a better indicator of fuel economy than Miles per Gallon.

You can read about it here.

I got to thinking, what are the exact numbers? To that effect I've made a spreadsheet. You can download it here.The first sheet is a graph showing total gas used to go 200,000 miles at a given MPG

Heh. It's at least amusing, since it's the same exact curve, merely inverted.

Those who slept through algebra being doomed to repeat it, hm?

You almost got me.
