Gas Price (Per Gallon)

$

How It Works: Estimates trip expenses by calculating total fuel consumed based on distance and vehicle efficiency.

Key Inputs:

Trip Distance: Total miles to be traveled.
Fuel Efficiency: Vehicle's average MPG.
Gas Price: Cost per gallon ($).

Formula: Total Cost = (Distance / MPG) × Gas Price per Gallon.

Total Fuel Cost

$70.00

Gallons Needed

20.0 gal

Gas Mileage 101

Fuel efficiency is measured in MPG (Miles Per Gallon). The higher the MPG, the cheaper your trip.

How to Improve MPG

Drive Smoothly: Rapid acceleration and hard braking burn more gas.
Check Tire Pressure: Under-inflated tires increase resistance and lower efficiency.
Reduce Weight: Remove heavy items from your trunk when not needed.

Highway vs. City

Cars generally get better mileage on the highway because they maintain a constant speed. Stop-and-go city traffic kills efficiency.
