    40mpg = 4 gallons/day = 20 gallons/week.

    20 gallons = 20*4.5= 90 litres * 1.36 = £122.40/week.

    He probably got an A* at GCSE Maths (last year or earlier of course).

    Potentially forgot that the expensive internet connecting device can also be used as a calculator?

    Makes me laugh at work when people run around asking if they can borrow one when they have a very nice Dell one sitting on their desks.

    5t.
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    Maybe they didn't know the MPG for the car.

    Why couldn't you think of that? :p

    No one here knows the MPG either. We don't know the actual car or the driver or how it's driven, do we? The reply above assumes an MPG figure.

    It was the most convenient number given the other parameters :D
