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 -
Your average for this trip is 21.5 mpg
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.
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.
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 fast is the car traveling if it has driven a total of 200 miles in 5.5 hours
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.
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.
To calculate the gas cost for driving 950 miles at 30 miles per gallon (mpg), first determine how many gallons you'll need: 950 miles ÷ 30 mpg = approximately 31.67 gallons. If the average gas price is, for example, $3.50 per gallon, the total cost would be 31.67 gallons × $3.50/gallon = about $110.85. Therefore, the total cost will vary based on the current gas price.
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?
To determine the number of gallons of gas needed to go 800 miles, you would first need to know the fuel efficiency of your vehicle in miles per gallon (mpg). Let's assume your vehicle gets 25 mpg. You can then calculate the gallons needed by dividing the total miles by the mpg: 800 miles / 25 mpg = 32 gallons. Therefore, you would need approximately 32 gallons of gas to travel 800 miles in a vehicle that gets 25 mpg.
To calculate the cost of traveling 250 miles at 38 miles per gallon, you first determine the number of gallons needed by dividing the distance by the fuel efficiency: 250 miles ÷ 38 mpg = approximately 6.58 gallons. Then, multiply the number of gallons by the cost of gas per gallon. For example, if gas costs $3.00 per gallon, the total cost would be about 6.58 gallons × $3.00 = approximately $19.74.
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!
