Enchanted

So I was sitting here pondering...

Circuit City is $2.00 less than Target (issues aside of whether you get the bonus disk at CC). Assuming that a car gets 20 MPG and figuring gas is about $3.45/gallon, if CC is any more than 5.8 miles further away (11.6 miles round trip), it will still end up costing more to go to CC.

And if you use the current government allowance of 50.5¢ per gallon, then if the trip is more than two miles away (4 miles round trip), then it is a losing proposition.

Yeah, I need a hobby.
