How much gas would it take to drive 1900 miles?

Answer 1

That depends heavily on the fuel efficiency of the car you are using and the type of driving.

If you know how many Miles per Gallon (MPG) your vehicle gets, you can calculate the fuel like this:

Miles / MPG = Gallons

For example, if I was to travel 1900 miles in my car that gets 32 MPG, we would calculate..

1900 miles / 32 MPG= 59.375 gallons

My motorcycle can do about 45 MPG, so the same trip would take..

1900 miles / 45 MPG = 42.2 gallons

A vehicle's MPG can fluctuate depending on what type of driving it has to do.

If you plan on taking a very long road trip, a vehicle will usually have better efficiency during that trip than in city driving since highway driving does not have the same start-and-stop traffic that city driving does.

On the opposite end, if you're trying to calculate 1900 miles in the city, your fuel economy will typically go down. Smaller lightweight cars are typically less affected by city driving where as heavier cars typically are.
