Formula Used

Total Fuel Needed (gallons) = Distance (miles) / Vehicle Efficiency (MPG) Total Cost = Total Fuel Needed × Fuel Price ($/gallon) Cost per Mile = Total Cost / Distance

This formula provides a straightforward estimate of fuel consumption and cost for your trip. The actual values may vary based on driving conditions, traffic, and vehicle maintenance.

Worked Example

Let's calculate fuel consumption for a trip from Newark, NJ to Atlanta, GA:

  • Distance: 750 miles
  • Vehicle Efficiency: 25 MPG
  • Fuel Price: $3.50 per gallon
Total Fuel Needed = 750 miles / 25 MPG = 30 gallons Total Cost = 30 gallons × $3.50 = $105 Cost per Mile = $105 / 750 miles = $0.14 per mile

For this trip, you would need approximately 30 gallons of fuel, costing about $105, with an average cost of $0.14 per mile.
