Enter the distance traveled and the fuel cost into the calculator to determine the miles per dollar. This calculator helps you understand how far you can travel for each dollar spent on fuel.
Miles Per Dollar Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the miles per dollar.
MPD = D / FC
Variables:
- MPD is the miles per dollar
- D is the distance traveled (miles)
- FC is the fuel cost (dollars)
To calculate the miles per dollar, divide the distance traveled by the fuel cost.
What is Miles Per Dollar?
Miles per dollar is a measure of fuel efficiency that relates the distance you can travel to the amount of money spent on fuel. It is a useful metric for budgeting travel expenses and comparing the cost-effectiveness of different vehicles or travel methods.
How to Calculate Miles Per Dollar?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Miles Per Dollar.
- First, determine the distance traveled (D) in miles.
- Next, determine the fuel cost (FC) in dollars.
- Next, gather the formula from above = MPD = D / FC.
- Finally, calculate the Miles Per Dollar (MPD).
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
distance traveled (D) = 300 miles
fuel cost (FC) = $50
