If gas prices in New York are $3.4/gallon, and your car gets 29 miles/gallon, then how much does it cost you in gas to drive 119 miles.

Answer 1

119/29 x 3.4 = about $13.95

total miles divided by miles per gallon times price per gallon = total cost

You need 119/29 gallons to go 119 miles = about 4.1+ gallons (30x4=120) 4.1+ x 3.4 = 13.94+ a penny

After the Canadian oil pipeline gets shutdown and gas taxes go up, it might cost a lot more. Or if OPEC cuts back on production to drive gas prices up. Or a carbon tax. Still today you can get better than $3.40 per gallon, as low as $2.40 in many places. For lowest prices, drive across to Nogales Mexico and fill up.
