Electric more expensive????

I was thinking about this today....Say u race modified, and replace your brushes every two runs for maximum performance...and you run 4 times during practice, maybe even more...plus 3 qualifiers and one main, 6 runs....if brushes are about $4 a pair, that is 24 dollars per race day, say u race 2 times per month, 48 per month....a gallon of gas is about 20 dollars Ive heard that on a 75 cc tank, a gallon of gas can fill up the tank 55 times(about).....say an average race at a club is 30 min...plus 4 practice runs and 3(at 5 min)qualifiers plus main...at about 5 minutes on a tank of gas, that is about 13 fill ups...a gallon of gas could last you about 4 races....i might have messed up some where, back to elec. 4 races worth of brushes would be about 96 dollars(including 4 practice rounds, 3 qualifiers, and main) Thats 76 dollars saved...i think i screwed up somewhere up there....well if you catch something i didn't please tell me
