How can you calculate miles per gallon of gasoline?

Divide the number of miles travelled by the number of gallons of gasoline used.

Ananda's cars traveled between 25 and 29 m per gallon of gasoline on a recent trip. If the road trip was 614 m what could be the number of gallons of gasoline that Ananda used during this road trip?

23 gallon.


How does an automobile using 11.5 barrels of oil create 5 tons of carbon dioxide?

To obtain the number of grams of CO2 emitted per gallon of gasoline combusted, the heat content of the fuel per gallon is multiplied by the kg CO2 per heat content of the fuel. The average heat content per gallon of gasoline is 0.125 mmbtu/gallon and the average emissions per heat content of gasoline is 71.35 kg CO2/mmbtu.

How much does diesel cost to the mile?

It depends on you fuel economy. MPG means miles divided by gallons. Miles/Gallon. Take number of miles driven, divided by number of gallons to drive those miles. Flip over miles per gallon to get gallons per mile then multiply by dollars per gallon to get dollars per mile.


How much does a gallon of gasoline vapor weigh?

Briefly, the saturated vapor volume of an average gallon of liquid gasoline when fully evaporated is 160.4 gallons of vapor at 60° F and sea level.Vapor volume of a liquid is the number of cubic feet of vapor resulting from the complete evaporation of the liquid. The vapor volume depends on parameters of density, temperature, pressure and molecular weight which is affected by the variety of formulas for gasoline that is comprised of a wide range of hydrocarbons.Several approaches are available to solve this problem. One is shown below.Using a common industrial formula:one liquid gallon = [(8.31) x (SG) x (387 cu ft)] / (MW)Where:8.31 = pounds in gallon of waterSG = specific gravity of liquid being vaporized387 = At standard conditions, one pound-molecular weight of a material will evaporate to fill 387 cubic feet of space.MW= molecular weight of liquid being vaporizedThen using the approximate gasoline constants:one liquid gallon of gasoline = [(8.31 pounds in a gallon of water) x (.70 approx. specific gravity of gasoline) x (387 cu ft)] / (105 molecular weight of average gasoline)= 21.4 cubic feet of vapor volumeThere is 7.481 U.S. gallons in one cubic foot.So:one liquid gallon of gasoline = (21.4 cubic feet) x (7.481)= 160.4 gallons of saturated gasoline vaporThe vapor volume will vary based on the specific formulation of gasoline, pressure, and temperature.D.

How much does it cost to go 380 miles if you get 20 miles per gallon?

This depends on the price of gas per gallon. Say the price of gas per gallon is p. The total number of gallons needed is (380 miles)/(20 miles per gallon) which is 19. The cost of the trip would be p times the number of gallons, or 17p. For example, the average price of gas in the United States as of January 30, 2012, was $3.50 dollars per gallon. The price of the trip would be (19 gallons) times ($3.5 dollars per gallon), which is $66.50. Another example: the average price of gas in Michigan as of January 30, 2012, was $3.39 dollars per gallon. The price of the trip would be (19 gallons) times ($3.39 dollars per gallon), which is $64.41.


How much will it cost to drive 1180 miles getting 60 miles to the gallon at 4.20?

So 60 miles to the gallon, and we want to drive 1180 miles total. Divide the total number of miles by how many miles per gallon we get, that'll give us the total number of gallons needed. So 1180/60 = 19.666667 gallons. If gas costs 4.20 dollars per gallon, and we need 19.666667 gallons or approximately 20 gallons, we need 20*4.20 dollars, which is 84 dollars.


What is the difference in weight between gallon of water and gallon of gasoline?

Equivalent in what way? Gasoline and water are two entirely different chemical compounds. They have dissimilar physical and chemical properties because, well, they are different. Perhaps you are referring specifically to the weight of a gallon of each. If so, then the weight of a gallon of each substance is not equivalent because the gas is less dense than water, so a gallon of water weighs more. When referring to volume, a gallon of gas is equivalent to a gallon of water. Even a gallon of oxygen is equivalent to a gallon of water, in reference to volume. However, when dealing with gases, pressure, temperature, and the number of molecules of the gas must be taken into account.
