* Gas Prices: Gas prices fluctuate constantly by location and time. You'll need to check current gas prices along your route using a website like GasBuddy.com or AAA.
* Fuel Efficiency: A 2005 Chevy Trailblazer's fuel efficiency varies depending on the engine (and driving style). You'll likely get somewhere in the range of 15-20 MPG (miles per gallon), but checking the vehicle's specifics or using a fuel economy calculator based on its engine would be better.
* Route: The distance between Little Rock and Albuquerque is approximately 1000-1100 miles, but the exact mileage will vary based on the route taken. Google Maps or other route planners can give you a precise estimate.
Calculation Example:
Let's assume:
* Distance: 1050 miles
* Fuel Efficiency: 18 MPG
* Gas Price: $3.50/gallon (This is a *rough estimate*; check current prices!)
1. Gallons needed: 1050 miles / 18 MPG ≈ 58.3 gallons
2. Total cost: 58.3 gallons * $3.50/gallon ≈ $204
Therefore, a *rough estimate* is around $200-$250. However, this is just an example. To get a more accurate estimate, you must plug in the current gas prices along your planned route and your Trailblazer's actual fuel efficiency. Use online tools to help you calculate the cost based on those real-time variables.
