False

Explanation:

Taylor is going on a road trip that is 600 miles long. her friend recommends that she buy engine oil a because it will save her 60 cents in gas for every 20 miles of the trip.

Hence the savings would be 600/20 x 0.6 = $18

if oil however, will cost $35. is it worthwhile for taylor to buy the oil whether she has a coupon for $10 off the price or not.

Already without the coupon she is saving $18 and she refuses to buy she will loose $18, hence it is wiser for her to buy, coupon or no coupon.
