How do you determine miles per gallon cost?

Answer 1

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.
