How much would gas cost for 612 miles?

Answer 1

The answer to this question depends on the fuel efficiency of the vehicle and the cost of gas at the moment. Thus the answer is ever changing. But we can answer your question in terms of a formula.

Lets say the cost of gas in dollars per gallon is "G".

Lets say the fuel efficiency of your vehicle in terms of miles per gallon is "M"

And lets say the distance driven in miles is "D"

To determine the amount of gallons for a trip we simply divide D/M

Then if we multiply this by the cost per gallon or G we get our formula:

Cost for trip = (D/M) * G.

So if gas (G) costs $4 /gallon and our cars fuel efficiency (M) is 20 miles per gallon and our distance (D) is 612 miles. We get (612 miles / 20 miles / gallon) * $4 /gallon or $122.40. Note how the miles and gallons cancel out, leaving just the $.
