Calculate the cost of trips and distance you can drive
with these helpful mileage calculators and tips
For a long time, Americans have only looked at our miles per gallon ratings on our cars. Today, though, we must look at how far we can drive for just $1.00. This figure may have surprised you, and it certainly does hit home with today's price of gasoline. Here are some examples of how much a vehicle that is rated at 18MPG can go at $3.75 per gallon of gas:
-
From Bill's Quality Auto Care to Costco in Simi Valley and back (2.6 miles X roundtrip= 5.2 miles): $1.08
-
From Bill's Quality Auto Care to Chi-Chi's Pizza in Simi Valley and back (4.5 miles X roundtrip= 9 miles): $1.88
-
From Bill's Quality Auto Care to the Oaks Mall in Thousand Oaks and back (12.1 miles X roundtrip= 24.2 miles): $5.04
Just a few quick stops around town can really add up and cost a few dollars that we didn't even think about. At Bill's we want you to also be aware of factors that affect your gas mileage. Remember that all this page is talking about is the cost of gasoline, not all the other associated costs of vehicles.
