1) Divide miles driven by miles per gallon to determine how many gallons will be needed.
2) Multiply by the cost of a gallon of gas to determine the cost for the trip.
Here is an example:
1) Assume you take a 450 mile trip in a vehicle that gets 18 miles per gallon and gas that costs $4.10 per gallon.
2) 450 miles / 18 miles per gallon = 25 gallons of gas.
3) 25 gallons X $4.10 per gallon = $102.50.
4) Total cost of your trip for gas is $102.50.
Divide mileage (750) by miles per gallon (18) to determine how many gallons will be needed and then multiply by the cost of gas (4.12) to determine the cost for the trip: 750 ÷ 18 = 41.67 x 4.12 = $171.68
To calculate the cost of driving 800 miles at 17 miles per gallon, first determine the total gallons needed: 800 miles ÷ 17 miles per gallon = approximately 47.06 gallons. Then, multiply the total gallons by the price per gallon: 47.06 gallons × $4.00 per gallon = approximately $188.24. Therefore, it will cost about $188.24 to drive 800 miles.
Divide mileage by miles per gallon to determine how many gallons were used, then multiply by cost per gallon to calculate total cost of gas.: 3168/20 = 158.4 gal x 3.00 = $475.20.
1,617 miles at 10 mpg will cost about $565.95 at $3.50 per gallon.
To calculate the cost of gas for a trip of 875 miles with a fuel efficiency of 20 miles per gallon, first determine the total gallons needed: 875 miles ÷ 20 miles per gallon = 43.75 gallons. Then, multiply the total gallons by the current gas price per gallon. For example, if gas costs $3 per gallon, the total cost would be 43.75 gallons × $3 = $131.25.
Divide cost per gallon by the miles per gallon to receive cost per mile. Take the result and multiply the miles to travel by the cost per mile to receive the total cost for the trip. Example: $3.55 cost per gallon/18 mpg= .1922 cents per mile X 1200 miles = $236.66 cost of trip.
To calculate the gas cost for 374 miles in a car that gets 25 miles per gallon, first determine the gallons needed: 374 miles ÷ 25 miles per gallon = 14.96 gallons. Then, multiply the gallons by the price per gallon: 14.96 gallons × $2.40 per gallon = $35.90. Therefore, the gas cost for the trip would be approximately $35.90.
To calculate the cost of gas for a 614-mile drive with a fuel efficiency of 25 miles per gallon, first determine the number of gallons needed: 614 miles ÷ 25 miles per gallon = 24.56 gallons. Next, multiply the gallons by the cost of gas: 24.56 gallons × $3 per gallon = $73.68. Therefore, it will cost approximately $73.68 in gas for the trip.
At 30 miles per gallon, it would cost $29.25.
Divide mileage (467.47) by miles per gallon (26) to determine how many gallons are required and multiply by price per gallon (2.89) to determine cost of gasoline for the trip: 467.47 / 26 = 17.97515 gallons x 2.89 = $51.96.
To calculate the cost of traveling 250 miles at 38 miles per gallon, you first determine the number of gallons needed by dividing the distance by the fuel efficiency: 250 miles ÷ 38 mpg = approximately 6.58 gallons. Then, multiply the number of gallons by the cost of gas per gallon. For example, if gas costs $3.00 per gallon, the total cost would be about 6.58 gallons × $3.00 = approximately $19.74.
If gas costs $3.75 per gallon, your car gets 32 miles per gallon, and you drive 1500 miles, it will cost $175.78. However, your miles per gallon is likely based on highway miles at a specific speed, and it is likely you will not always be at this speed so it may cost more.
