1. Small Pickup Truck:
- Fuel Efficiency: 20 MPG (miles per gallon)
- Distance Driven: 12,000 miles per year
- Average Gas Price: $3.50 per gallon
Annual Gas Cost:
(12,000 miles / 20 MPG) * $3.50 per gallon = $2,100
2. Mid-Size Pickup Truck:
- Fuel Efficiency: 15 MPG
- Distance Driven: 15,000 miles per year
- Average Gas Price: $4.00 per gallon
Annual Gas Cost:
(15,000 miles / 15 MPG) * $4.00 per gallon = $4,000
3. Full-Size Pickup Truck:
- Fuel Efficiency: 10 MPG
- Distance Driven: 20,000 miles per year
- Average Gas Price: $4.50 per gallon
Annual Gas Cost:
(20,000 miles / 10 MPG) * $4.50 per gallon = $9,000
These are just rough estimates, and the actual cost of gas for a truck can vary significantly depending on your specific circumstances. To calculate the exact cost for your situation, you can divide your annual mileage by your fuel efficiency and multiply the result by the average gas price in your area.
