1-9. Automobile repair shops typically recom-
mend that their customers change their oil and oil
filter every 4,000 miles. Your automobile user's manual
suggests changing your oil every 8,000–10,000 miles. If
drive
you
your car 16,000 miles each year and an oil and
filter change costs $35, how much money would you save
each year if you had this service performed every 8,000
miles? (1.3)

- Suppose you are going on a long trip to your grandmother’s home in Seattle, 3,000 miles away. You have decided to drive your old Ford out there, which gets approximately 18 miles to the gallon when cruising at 70 mph. Because Grandma is an excellent cook and you can stay and eat at her place as long as you want (for free), you want to get to Seattle as economically as possible. However, you are worried about your fuel consumption rate at high speeds. You also have to balance cost of food, snacks, and sleep to balance against the cost of fuel. What is the optimum average speed you should use so as to minimize your total trip cost, CT?arrow_forwardAutomobile Transit 0 10 Model Parameter X₁, waiting time (min.) X₂, travel time (min.)

Suppose that a gas shortage occurs and panic buying takes place. All car owners now purchase gas when their tanks are exactly 3/4 full. Since each car is putting less gas into the tank for each visit, the average service time has been reduced to 2.86 minutes. Assume that arrival and departure rates are both exponential. What is the difference in length of queue before and after the shortage scenario, in terms of vehicles? answer an absolute value, and in four decimal places.arrow_forward
