TEASER # 1
During a recent trip to Scotland, I filled my petrol tank to the top, a total of
10 gallons. I travelled at 60 mph up the motorway and I knew that I could
average 40 miles per gallon. However, the moment I started, my petrol tank
developed a leak and four hours later I ground to a halt having run out of
petrol. How much petrol had I lost through the leak?
