Question 1100594: In planning a Thanksgiving vacation, you want to rent a car for a week and travel the Pacific Highway from San Francisco to San Diego. You want to return to San Francisco via Las Vegas, Death Valley, and Yosemite National Park. This trip covers approximately 1,500 miles. You plan to return the car with a full tank of gasoline. You are considering two options advertised by Hertz:
Toyota Camry, 33 mpg highway, costs $465.59 plus taxes and fees totaling $553.28.
Toyota Prius Hybrid, 48 mpg highway, costs $634.49 plus taxes and fees totaling $804.61

What is the question???
If you want to save money, rent the Camry.
If you are environmentally conscious enough to spend almost 50% more to use a car that gets better gas mileage, rent the Prius.
If there was something else to the problem that you left out, resubmit the question....
