Question

from tucson to dunseith ND 4200 miles gas price 3.00 to 3.50 per gal getting about 20 to 27 mpg and is it better to have the top down or up for better mpg

Answer 1

Approximately $550 dollars give or take not including food and other hotel costs.



Good luck!

Answer 2

Taking the average price per gal as $3.25 and average fuel consumption as 24 mpg then it would cost $568.30

Answer 3

you have all the data you need for the answer

Answer 4

Top up

4200 / 27 = 155.55 gal.

4200 / 20 = 210 gal

155.55 X 3.50 = $544.43

210 X 3.50 = $735 (worst case)

Answer 5

Best case 27mpg @$3 per gal=$466.  Average cost at 23.5 mpg and $3.25 per gal=$580. 20mpg at $3.50 per gal=$735

Top up is more aerodynamic for improved mpg-but hey,live a little and put it down if you've got a tailwind!
