Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance from present location to CheapGas = 4 miles

Price of gas at CheapGas is $0.37 cheaper

Hence, the decision to make a U-turn back to CheapGas or continue on intended destination will rely on two factors ;

1) The number of gallons of gas to purchase

2) The cost of gas required to return to cheap gas.

If a substantial amount of gas is to be purchased, may be 50, 100 or more gallons, the amount saved by making a turn back to cheapGas and purchase gas at $0.37 cheaper per gallon.

Who discovered that the earth took 365 days to move around the sun
Softa [21]
The fact that it takes Earth 365 days to move year in and year out has been known for many centuries. Even before heliocentric and geocentric models were introduced, people were already familiar with the 365 day period. Perhaps Galileo would be the answer, but hasn't been truly defined as to who first observed this.
