Total Money on gas= [(Miles traveling)/(Average Miles per Gallon of your car)] X (Price of gas per gallon)
Example: If I am traveling 2,000 miles and my car averages 30 MPG and the price of gas is $3.17 then
$211.34=[(2000 miles) / (30 MPG)] X $3.17
I suggest multiplying that amount by 1.1 to calculate all of the driving you will do for example going to a restaurant or hotel if you are traveling long distances.
Example: ($211.34) X (1.1) = $232.48

You'll want to figure out your gas mileage (mpg) first, which is the number of miles you can drive on one tank of gas divided by the number of gallons in your tank. Then divide the miles you will be traveling by your miles per gallon. Then multiply by the price of gas.
Example: I get 50mpg or so on the highway in my Prius. If I'm traveling 2000 miles I'll need 40 gallons of gas. The current price is $3.37 so I'll need $135 for gas money.

Determine the distance you're traveling and then multiply that by the average price of gas. You might want to add a little extra just in case. Happy traveling

This is soooo easy.
For instance. My car is rated 100km per 8 litres of gas on the highway. The speed limit is always 90 to 110 km/hr. So I just times the price of gas times 8 times hours and have the cost.
So if gas is $1 per litre, and I drive 5 hours that's $40.
Or are you on some other archaic system that makes it difficult?
