Worked Example

Let's calculate the mileage for a trip where you drive 300 miles and use 10 gallons of fuel costing $3.50 per gallon.

Mileage = 300 miles / 10 gallons = 30 mpg Cost per mile = ($3.50 × 10) / 300 = $1.17 per mile

This means your vehicle achieved 30 miles per gallon and cost $1.17 per mile for this trip.
