800 miles / 16 miles per gallon = 50 gallons x $4 per gallon = $200.
The answer depends on the efficiency of the vehicle in miles per gallon, as well as the price of gasoline. An average automobile goes 20 miles on a gallon of gas. Divide distance by efficiency (1000 miles divided by 20 miles per gallon results in 50 gallons.) If gas costs $3 per gallon, then the fuel used by this car to travel 1000 miles would cost $150 and you would need to fill up twice. If you drive a hybrid at 33 miles per gallon, the cost would be $90 (one tank of gas used). If you drive a truck or SUV at 10 miles per gallon, the cost would be $300 with four fill-ups.
3 oz. per 1 gallon for a 50:1 ratio
That depends entirely on what the miles per gallon figure is ! If you get 50 miles to the gallon, you'd need 140 gallons, which would be ten tankfulls. HOWEVER - if you get 65 to the gallon, the figure will be less !
per square foot its about 75 cents - 50 pence
50 cents
50 cents
That was just about when it jumped from 25 cents to 50 cents a gallon.
gasoline back then was 50 cents!!!!!WWWWWOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!In most of the US, 50 cents would have been a very high price per gallon. Gasoline sold for between 19 and 35 cents per gallon. However, you must consider the wages the people earned in the 1960s were very much lower than now.Actually gasoline in the 60's was about 28-39 cents per gallon.
The national average price of a gallon of regular unleaded fuel in the 1960s ranged from 31 to 35 cents per gallon. (This is equivalent to about $2.15 dollars in 2010).
Very roughly-- between $.20 and $.30 per gallon in the US. I started driving 7 years later, and I remember gas in the 30's (cents, that is).
A gallon of gas cost around .17 cents in 1930. Gas prices appear to be at a historical high, and prices of the past appear to be cheap (17 cents per gallon in the 1930s, a quarter in the 1950s and 50 cents in the 1970s). But this is a classic example of "money illusion." In real inflation-adjusted dollars, gas prices are the same or lower today than in most previous decades. That .17 cents in 1930 was considered at the time, expensive considering the average disposable income was less than $500 per year.
how much was gas in the 50's? how much was gas in the 50's? well gas in 1962 was 27cents a gallon. that is the oldest receipt i have.Oh and diesel was 19 cents, too.
I should ask your Grandad. In the UK it was about 4 shillings per gallon (we still had shillings then) and I recall it was about $2.80 to the pound, so that would make it about 50 cents to the gallon, but it was probably cheaper in the US
800 miles / 16 miles per gallon = 50 gallons x $4 per gallon = $200.
In the USA it was pumped into you car for 19 cents a gallon, including tax.
As I recall gas was about 30 cents a gallon in the 50's. I remember there was a gas war between gas stations one year and the price got down to 19 cents for a few weeks.
