Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate fuel cost for a road trip?
Divide total distance by your vehicle MPG to get gallons needed, then multiply by the average gas price along your route.
How often should I stop for gas on a road trip?
Plan stops when your tank reaches about a quarter full. In remote areas, fill up whenever possible as stations may be far apart.
Does highway driving use more or less fuel?
Most vehicles are most efficient at 45 to 65 mph. Highway driving at moderate speeds is typically more fuel efficient than city driving, but speeds above 65 mph reduce efficiency.
