Unexpected ininite loop behavior
#1
Hi, I'm trying to code a basic while True loop, but I get an infinite loop whether or not I use the continue statement (after I purposely enter invalid data to test the loop):

#!/usr/bin/env python3

print("Welcome to the Miles Per Gallon Program.")
print()

milesDriven = float(input("Enter miles driven:               "))
gallonsUsed = float(input("Enter the number of gallons used: "))


while True:
    if milesDriven > 0 and gallonsUsed > 0:
        mpg = round((milesDriven / gallonsUsed),2)
        print("Miles Per Soul... uh... Gallon: ",mpg)
        break
    else:
        print("Both entries must be greater than 0. Please Try again.")
        continue
What's wrong?
