    Ok. Here is an easier math problem since the other one stumped everyone.

    We have now purchased 360 gallons of fuel.

    Blackie has used 239 gallons of fuel.

    How much fuel is left in Blackie?]

    *****Extra Credit *****
    How much DEF was used?

    121 gallons of fuel left, and I would guess about 14 gallons of DEF used?

    Blackie typically uses 1 gallon of DEF for 30 gallons of fuel @ 7.5 mpg.

    As mileage decreases DEF consumption increases.

    Did a different truck leave from the opposite direction? Using 50 gallons more? The one from Wisconsin was wearing Berkenstocks. The one from the south biker boots with hardened toe?


    Dave get a stick, just to be safe.
