Got this analysis about the story:
Lets examine the premise: 2000 miles per month is costing Jayson $500 in fuel. That means each mile costs about $.25, or 8 miles to the gallon at an average price of $2.00/gallon(actual US average today is $1.89).
Jayson gets 8 miles to the gallon, tops. That means he is commuting to school in a 1962 Dodge Power Wagon 4x4. That means Jayson is lying, the paper is lying, Jayson is severely mentally handicapped, or all of the above.
