How much does it cost to drive?

Calculating Costs

To figure your fuel cost, begin with a full tank of fuel and write down the odometer reading. Each time you fill up, note the number of gallons, how much you pay and the odometer reading. These figures can then be used to calculate average miles per gallon and cost of fuel per mile.

For example:

Gallons	Cost*	Odometer
beginning full tank		8,850
12.4	$29.82	9,136
9.5	$22.85	9,355
15.7	$37.76	9,717
37.6	$90.43	9,717
	--	8,850
	miles driven =	867
miles per gallon:	867 ÷ 37.6 =	23.1 mpg
gas cost per mile:	$90.43 ÷ 867 =	10.43 cents

* Gas averaged $2.41 when this was calculated

When determining your annual driving costs, be sure to include all vehicle-related expenses incurred during the year.

To determine your driving costs accurately, keep personal records on all the costs listed below.
