Objective: Find out the true MPG (Miles Per Gallon) of a vehicle, given a group of conditions which the user provides values for. 5 are given, 1 you create on your own. Requirements:

Prompt the user for the cars MPG first. i.e. Please Enter MPG: 26

Then prompt the user to enter a value for six factors which will affect the MPG of the vehicle, prompting for single value inputs after showing menus (i.e. a series of println() statements showing the options/valid values to enter)

After collecting all of the inputs, provide a detailed report of the inputs, their meaning, how much they affect MPG, as well as the the beginning and final MPG.

The following criteria will be used for the six inputs.

City or Highway Driving: Use a boolean type variable for input

City Subtracts 2 from MPG

Highway Adds 5 to MPG

Rainy or Sunny: Use a String type variable for input

Rainy Subtracts 1 from MPG

Sunny No Change to MPG

Elevation: Use a char type variable for input

S for Steep, Steep Subtracts from 5MPG

H for Hilly, Hilly Subtracts 3 from MPG

F for Flat, No Change to MPG

Weight in Vehicle (cargo or passenger): Use double type for input

Each 100lbs subtracts 0.5 MPG

Speed Preference: Use an int type variable for input

1 for under speed limit, Add 2 to MPG

2 for at speed limit, No Change to MPG

3 for 5% above speed limit, Subtract 1 from MPG

4 for 10% above speed limit, Subtract 3 from MPG

5 for over 20% above speed limit, Subtract 5 from MPG

Suggestion: Use a switch() statement for Speed Preference

Add one additional factor which you will prompt the user for, that affects MPG such as

tire pressure/condition,

hybrid vs. gas powered,

engine condition,

towing load,

2WD/4WD,

etc.
