Petrol question: How many miles does $20 get you?

[VictorLazlo]

McBain pulls up in his Hummer.
Homer: So, what kind of gas mileage does this thing get?
McBain: 1 highway, 0 city.

At around $1.67/gallon that will get me a full tank of gas...which depending on how much I use my A/C will get me anywhere from 300 to 350 miles.

 

[Linflas]

198.9 in an F-150.
Calculated from 16.4 MPG with per gallon price of $1.649.

 

[FeathersMcGraw]

Assuming $1.75/gallon and about 28 mpg (city), 320 miles. On the highway, I get 32-35 mpg.

Yep

 

[CraigRT]

about $35 Canadian gets me about 350-400 kms per tank, at 85cents a litre.

roughly.

summer should improve a bit over the winter gas junk.

 

[amdskip]

400 miles at the $1.75/gallon price in my 96 civic at 35mpg

 

[labrat25]

~300 miles, just short of getting home

 

[Freejack2]

$20 will get me roughly 350 miles.

 

[SWScorch]

well, let's see... I can't put more than $5 of gas in my car at a time because the gas tank leaks if I put any more in, and I get roughly 75 miles from $5, so 75 * 4 = 300 miles.

 

[RagingBITCH]

About 311.88

 

[Scouzer]

Well, at .79 cents a litre, converted to gallons is 2.99, then converted to American dollars is 2.28/gallon, I buy about 8.77 gallons of gas. At 32 mpg thats 280 miles.

Yay.

 

[Abhi]

210 .... kilometers!!

Gasoline is expensive here in india

 

[Aves]

About 330 miles @ 1.799/gallon

 

[brtspears2]

$2.009 a gallon, I expect 200 miles at least.

 

[ChefJoe]

I buy premium and that's about a full tank for a 97 Jetta GLS..... 300-320 miles.

 

[PoPPeR]

um. My LS400 gets around 250 before I usually fill up, and last week it cost me $40 to fill up. So that works out to about 125 for a $20 bill

Fortunately my parents pay for everything

 

[AvesPKS]

Heh, it depends on where I start. Here in Chicago, 20 bucks get me a full tank of gas, so about 330 miles. Apparently back home it's 1.59 a gallon, so that's about a tank and a third, so 440 miles.

 

[Zenmervolt]

219 miles if I keep the same mix of city driving. About 252 miles when I get back home and it's more highway. This is with my current gas price of $1.899 per gallon. The car needs Premium.

[vi edit]

309 @ 1.62/gallon figuring 25MPG combined driving on my '94 Camry.

382 highway at 31MPG.

 

[NeoPTLD]

230 highway miles

 

[dethman]

~200

 

[KarenMarie]

$20.00 fills my tank and I get 250-275 miles on it.
I drive a ford escort five speed.

 

[Kaervak]

If I run completely out of gas then at current prices I can get just under 433 miles out of a twelve gallon tank.
