How much would it cost me to drive 750 miles with a 60 gallon tank at 2.85 per gallon.?

Question

Driving 750 miles at 2.85 per gallon with a 60 gallon tank. What would it cost to get there. Someone told me it should be only 300 dollars, does not sound right, thanks.

Answer 1

That depends on what car you are driving (MPG). If you are using a small car (Civic) it would cost much less than a SUV

Good Luck

Answer 2

No wonder you are flunking math.  You never said how many mpg your car gets.

Answer 3

How fast is the car driving?

Answer 4

Depends on how many miles per gallon your car gets.

750/mpg x 2.85

Answer 5

Don't we have to know how many miles your per gallon your car gets first jack@ss?????

Answer 6

Answer 7

Probably much the same as with a hundred gallon tank. The information you need is the average distance your car runs on one gallon. Check the internet for your make and you should be able to find out. Let's assume it does 25 miles to one gallon - divide 750 by 25 that gives you 30. Which means you will use roughly 30 gallons to travel 750 miles. 30 gallons will cost you $85.50. If you find your car does fewer miles than 25 to the gallon the trip will cost you more.

Answer 8

Since you didn't provide the mileage your vehicle gets, I'm guessing with a 60 gallon tank that you get 8-10 mpg at best.  Based on that, estimate, driving 750 miles will take 75-95 gallons of fuel.  Using your 2.85 fuel cost, that puts your fuel cost at between $215 and $270, each way.  Looks like the person who gave you your info was about right.

As long as your vehicle gets at least 7 mpg, you'll be under $300.  If you get 5 mpg, the cost will rise to about $425.
