If a car does 60 miles per gallon how can i work out the cost?(uk)?

Question

ok so the car does 60miles per gallon and i travel 17000 miles per year and diesel costs 98.9p per litre (UK)

how can i work out what that would cost me per year?

Answer 1

divide 17000 by 60 then multiply by .989 to give price in pounds, you then need to multiply by 4.5 as there a 4.546 litres in a gallon

Answer 2

(17000/60) * 4.546 * 0.989

17000/60 = 283.33 gallons.

283.33 * 4.546 = 1288 litres

@ £0.989 per litre, that equals £1273 (to the nearest pound).

Additional to above: Your first answer of £200 was funnier. Oops! That's 98.9p per litre, not gallon! Nicely edited :P

Answer 3

£1273.86

divide 17000 by 60 then multiply by .989 to give price in pounds, you then need to multiply by 4.5 as there a 4.546 litres in a gallon

Answer 4

Thats just the fuel cost,there are lots of other incidentals you have to consider.One of the most economical cars at the moment is the Ford 1400 diesel at 62 mpg.the fiesta,the fusion ,the fusion plus.The Fusion plus has the road weight absolutely right,it,s a beauty to drive and is wheelchair friendly with a bit more room.

Answer 5

so if you travel 60 miles on a gallon of fuel then you must use 283 gallons of fuel per year there that would be 1071 litres of fuel therefore you spend 1059 pounds and 22 pence approximately.

Answer 6

60 miles per gallon - are you driving a motorcycle????

Answer 7

Answer 8

17,000 divided by 60 = 284 gallons

284 x 4.54 = 1,291 litres

1,291 x 0.989 = £1,277
