I came up with A.

Looking at it in terms of miles driven per year I came up with the following:

Driving 12,000 miles/yr you consume the following fuel amounts.

A)
10mpg = 1200 gallons of fuel
20mpg = 600 gallons of fuel
1200-600=600 gallons of fuel saved.

B)
25mpg = 480 gallons of fuel
50mpg = 240 gallons of fuel
480-240=240 gallons of fuel saved.

Using any amount of miles driven in a year, A will always save more gallons of fuel. Do I get a cookie?

yes u get the cookie.
after doing the switch you drive the X amount of miles in either situation. the scenario didn't say the amount of driving you do is going to be different based on the option.
