Question 1

How do I calculate fuel cost for a trip?

Accepted Answer

Divide your trip distance by your vehicle's fuel efficiency (MPG) to get gallons needed, then multiply by the price per gallon. For example, a 300-mile trip at 25 MPG with $3.50/gallon gas costs: (300 / 25) x $3.50 = $42.00.

Question 2

What is the average fuel cost per mile?

Accepted Answer

At $3.50 per gallon and 25 MPG, the fuel cost per mile is about $0.14. The actual cost depends on your vehicle's fuel efficiency and local gas prices.
