Tangentially related, you can also combine a basic knowledge of math with a basic knowledge of spreadsheets to make people think you’re the second coming of Einstein

I shat this out in 5 minutes. All the white cells are user editable, and the blue cell calculates automatically. I could make it estimate annual gas costs by letting you adjust monthly mileage instead of speed and tweaking the math a bit. The average person would sooner close the application than try and make an interactive spreadsheet

Edit: I made the annual price one. You can either use monthly mileage for a good estimate, or distance to work for a very rough estimate (it multiplies the distance by 2x260 (2 to account for round trip, 260 because there are 52 weeks in a year and every week has 5 work days))

Of course it doesn’t account for non-work driving, but it also doesn’t account for holidays, so maybe it evens out

For my turbonerds out there, I’m not sharing the sheet itself because my name is on it, but here’s the behind-the-scenes
