Please help me. Will someone please calculate the cost of a road trip from Albuquerque, NM to Sacramento,CA?
Albuquerque, NM to Sacramento, CA = 1,084 mi (one-way) Gas price = $4.50 Average fuel economy = 20 mpg Formula: 1,084 / 20 * 4.50 = $243.90, or approximately $244 You can calculate your own vehicle’s fuel economy (how many miles it gets per gallon) by following these steps: * Next time you fill up, note your odometer reading or set your trip meter to zero (push in the little knob underneath the odometer – read your owner’s manual if you have a newer car with a computerized console) and the number of gallons you purchase, down to the tenth * Drive until it’s time to fill up again * Note the odometer reading when you fill up – subtract it from the first reading you noted * Divide that figure by the number of gallons you purchased to arrive at your MPG You can then substitute whatever number you come up with for the 20 mpg in the formula above.
