Calculate your cost of driving!

These are the cars you'll be driving:

1-2 people: You have this car - a tiny one:)
3-4 people: You have this car - a  bit roomier:)

This is the average cost of gas:

$ 3,30/ gallon

Check your driving distance here!

Calculate the average daily cost for your trip like this:

Gallons per mile * miles you'll be travelling = amount of gallons to reach destination
Amount of gallons to reach destination * 3,3 = total cost
Total cost / 35 = cost per day

For me this would mean:

New Orleans, LA - Bemidji, MI = 1447 miles
My tiny tar needs 2 gallons per 100 miles, which equals 0,02 gallons per mile. So:

0,02 * 1447 = 28, 94
28,94 * 3,3 = 95,5
95,5/35=2,72

So, the average cost per day for me would be $ 2,70! That's cheap!!

Please note! This is the cost for "the whole car" to travel the distance. If I was travelling with a friend, my cost would be cut in half!:)
