Total Fuel Cost vs Trip Distance
Formula
## How to Calculate Gas Cost Divide the trip distance by your MPG to find gallons needed, then multiply by the gas price. ### Formula **Gallons = Distance / MPG** **Fuel Cost = Gallons x Price Per Gallon**
Exemplo Resolvido
300-mile trip in a car getting 28 MPG with gas at $3.50/gallon.
- 01Gallons needed = 300 / 28 = 10.71 gal
- 02Fuel cost = 10.71 x $3.50 = $37.50
- 03Cost per mile = $3.50 / 28 = $0.125
Perguntas Frequentes
How do I find my car's MPG?
Check the EPA fuel economy sticker or fueleconomy.gov. You can also calculate it by filling up, driving, and dividing miles driven by gallons to refill.
Does highway vs city driving matter?
