- Type of vehicle: Different vehicles have different fuel efficiencies. For example, a small, fuel-efficient car will get more miles per gallon than a large, gas-guzzling SUV.
- Engine size: Larger engines typically use more gas than smaller engines.
- Driving conditions: Fuel economy can be affected by factors such as traffic, road conditions, and weather (e.g., cold weather reduces fuel economy).
- Aerodynamics: A car's shape and design can impact its fuel efficiency.
To calculate the distance your car can travel on a gallon of gas, you can use the following formula:
```
Distance = Fuel Efficiency (miles per gallon) x Amount of Fuel in Tank (gallons)
```
For example, if your car gets 25 miles per gallon and you have a 10-gallon fuel tank, your car can travel up to 250 miles on a full tank of gas.
It's important to note that this calculation provides an estimate only, and actual fuel efficiency may vary.
