Divide the number of miles by the amount of fuel you used to go that distance. For example, if you traveled 400 miles and used 15 gallons of fuel, your fuel economy was -
- 400 / 15 = about 26.6 mpg

What is the formula used to calculate cost per mile based on fuel usage only.?
Miles driven divided by MPG = gallons used. Gallons used multiplied by price per gallon = total price spent for miles driven. Total cost divided into total miles = cost per mile.Take the price of gas and divided it by your cars mpg.Price of Gas Per Gallon/Miles Per Gallon = cost per mile.$3.12 per gallon/ 22 mpg = 14 cents per mile.
How many gallons of gasoline does one car use in a year?
Take the car you drive, miles you drive per year, mileage of the vehicle divided into total miles will give you gallons used.6,000 miles driven by a car getting 30 mpg means it used 200 gallons.
How many miles per gallon on a 14.3 gallon tank?
That's the wrong question. Tank size does not determine fuel consumption. The only way to ACCURATELY determine fuel consumption is to fill the tank, drive as far as you dare on that tank of fuel, fill the tank again then calculate the mileage by the following:Divide total miles driven on that tank of fuel by the number of gallons used.M/G=MPGWhere:M=miles driven on that tank of fuelG=number of gallons required to REFILL the tank after driving those milesMPG=miles per gallon

How much gasoline does a car use?
It varies from car to car and driver to driver. The next time you fill up, record the mileage. The next time you fill up again, record the mileage and the gallons it took to fill it up. Subtract the the first mileage reading from the second reading and you have the total miles driven. Now take the number of gallons used and divide them into the total miles driven between fill ups and you will have the miles per gallon (mpg) the vehicle gets with you driving.
If you are traveling 70 miles and gas is 3.50 per gallon and the car gets 18 miles per gallon how much would it cost?
Under these circumstances the fuel cost for this trip would be $13.61. To calculate the amount you divide the total miles by the miles per gallon, then multiply that amount by the price per gallon of gas.
How to get answers California math course 2 chapter 8 lesson 5?
Brenda is driving her car on a trip. She has already driven 84 miles. Her car gets 20 miles per gallon of gasoline. the total number of miles she traveled can be modeled by the equation m= 84 + 20g, where m is the total number of miles traveled and g is the number of gallons of gasoline used after traveling 84 miles. Graph the equation. How many miles she travel used 7 1/2 gallons of gasoline?
What is the total miles driven per year in the United States?
Arround 2.7 trillion miles driven by passenger vehicles every year. That means that increasing fuel mileage by 1 mpg will save 2.7 trillion gallons of gas. Or you can think of it that the average family of four (assuming all drivers) drives around 24000 miles every year, which is almost the circumference of the earth!
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.
