a. Replacing a compact car that gets 34 mpg with a hybrid that gets 54mpg
b. Replacing a SUV that gets 18 mpg with a sedan that gets 28 mpg.
c. Both changes would save the same amount of fuel.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! mpg = miles per gallon. A higher mpg means you can use the same amount of fuel and travel a longer distance.
a) 54 mpg > 34 mpg ---> improvement of 20 mpg
b) 28 mpg > 18 mpg ---> improvement of 10 mpg
