How much do you reckon would it cost me in gasoline to drive my V8 SUV out to Mexico?
I’m planning a trip soon and I would like to estimate the cost so that I know about how much I will need to set aside for gas.
Go to Yahoo Maps and put in your starting an stopping points on the map. That will give you the total distance. Lets says that 1200 miles, take the highway milage (user your cruise as much as possible) say 20mpg (1200/20) it’ll take about 60 gallons of gas or about $200 (~$3 a gal). My Ford F150 with a 4.6L V8 gets about 22mpg on the highway at 60 with the cruise on 95% of the time. Goes down to about 17-18 without the cruise.
