How It Works
To estimate fuel cost: divide trip distance by your MPG to get gallons needed, then multiply by price per gallon. For multi-day road trips, account for city vs highway driving — highway MPG is typically 20-30% better than city. Gas prices vary significantly by region; apps like GasBuddy can help you find the cheapest stations along your route. Remember to budget for the return trip too.
