How the Calculation Works

This calculator uses the following formula to estimate your travel cost:

Cost = Miles × (1 ÷ MPG) × Gas Price

For example, if you travel 100 miles in a vehicle that gets 25 MPG and gas costs $3.50 per gallon:

Cost = 100 × (1 ÷ 25) × 3.50 = $14.00

Practical Applications

  • Plan travel budgets by estimating fuel costs before trips
  • Compare the cost-effectiveness of different travel options
  • Track your vehicle's fuel efficiency over time
  • Make informed decisions about carpooling or using public transportation

Note: This calculator provides estimates based on average conditions. Actual costs may vary based on vehicle maintenance, driving habits, road conditions, and other factors.
