* The size of the gas tank: V6 vehicles have gas tanks of varying sizes (e.g., 12 gallons, 15 gallons, 20 gallons, etc.).
* The vehicle's fuel efficiency (MPG): A V6's MPG varies greatly depending on the specific vehicle, its weight, driving conditions (city vs. highway), and how aggressively it's driven. You could see anywhere from 15 MPG to 30 MPG or more.
To figure this out for a *specific* V6 vehicle, you need to know its gas tank capacity and its fuel efficiency (MPG). Then you can calculate:
1. Miles per tank: Gas tank size (gallons) * MPG
2. Number of tanks: 800 miles / (Miles per tank)
Example:
Let's say a V6 vehicle has a 15-gallon tank and gets 25 MPG:
1. Miles per tank: 15 gallons * 25 MPG = 375 miles
2. Number of tanks: 800 miles / 375 miles/tank ≈ 2.13 tanks
This means you'd need about 2.13 tanks, or roughly 3 tanks to be safe, allowing for potential variations.
