How much will this cost?

Question

I live in pa and am going to nj. (2hrs, 38mins. according to mapquest. lol) I drive a ford escort.(10 gal gas tank) how much in gas/tolls do you think this will cost?

Answer 1

too much average gas price is 3.25 right now

Answer 2

You need several components to figure it out and you don't have any of them listed.

What is your current gas mileage.  How many miles per gallon does your Escort get.

How many miles is the total trip.

Divide total miles by mpg.  

So if the trip is 200 total miles and you get 20 mpg it would take you 10 gallons of gas to drive to NJ.  At $3.25 a gallon that would be $32.50.

Answer 3

how many miles per gallon do you get?

Answer 4

Find your mpg of your vehicle and add up how much gas you'll need.  Find out how many tolls you'll be paying and how much they are.

Add all together to get your cost per one way trip.  Double for your total round trip cost.  Multiply that by 5 to get your weekly cost.  Multipy that by 4 to get your monthly cost.  Multiply that by 12 to get your yearly cost.  

Of course, you'd need to deduct for however many weeks of vacation you get per year that you won't be going to work.
