Here's the problem with it.
Bobby said the only money she had on her was like $10.50, right, that he had given her.
It would cost about $6 to do the three loads.
So that gives her like $4.50 left.
Did I research the price of gas in this area, July 2001, and then the size of a GMC Jimmy tank?
Couldn't be your crime junkie if I didn't.
So the tank held like 31 gallons.
Gas was anywhere from like 132 to 145 a gallon, depending on if she filled up in Indiana or Ohio.
So if it's already a quarter full, to get to a half a tank, and this is before she drove and used any more, she needs like $11 worth of gas.
And again, this is before she makes the 40-mile drive.
In good condition, a 1990 GMC Jimmy gets like average 15 miles per gallon on the highway.
It's a lot of math, by the way.
So we know the GMC is in poor condition.
I don't know what it actually got.
Even if like best case scenario, let's just cut to the chase.
Back of the napkin math, she had to have put somewhere between like 12 to 16 bucks into the car.
