Question

I am driving about 450 miles with a 98 Toyota Camry, any estimates on how much gas I will use?

Answer 1

You should get between 26 to 28 miles on the highway and between 20 to 22 in town and your fuel tank holds 18.5 gallons, so if you get an average of say 27 miles per gallon on the highway then you will use 17 gallons of fuel which will cost you around $68.00 one way...........

Answer 2

I drove 400 miles in a ford focus 1.8, slightly better mpg than your car but I got that distance in 16 gallons on highway roads. I'd say a full tank and perhaps a little more.

Answer 3

18 gallons if u get 25 mpg...14 gallons at 30 mpg...

Answer 4

this link will allow you to search your car, including engine and transmission type.  it will tell you your city, highway, and combined mpg (miles per gallon).  If you are driving the entire 450 on freeway, divide 450 by your cars highway mpg to figure out how many gallons you will use, then multiply that number by the average cost of gas on your route (probably about $4).

the four cylinder automatic version of your car gets 28 on the highway, so:

450/28=16.071 x 4 = 64.  So about 64 bucks.  Its different if you drive in the city, and different if you have another engine/trans combo.  other factors can affect your fuel economy (or mpg) like deflated tires, old oil, clogged air filter, bad IAC mix, etc.  the mpg listed on the website is an estimate only.  

p.s. you will get the most miles per gallon keeping your speed between 45 and 65 mph...driving at 65 instead of 70 can boost your mpg by around 3 miles...also approximate.
