Enter the miles per gallon (mpg) and the tank size in gallons into the calculator to determine the miles you can drive on a full tank of gas.
Miles Per Tank Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the miles per tank.
MPT = MPG * TS
Variables:
- MPT is the miles per tank
- MPG is the miles per gallon the vehicle can travel
- TS is the tank size in gallons
To calculate the miles per tank, multiply the miles per gallon (MPG) by the tank size (TS) in gallons.
What is Miles Per Tank?
Miles per tank is a measure of how far a vehicle can travel on a full tank of fuel. It is an important metric for understanding the fuel efficiency of a vehicle and for planning long trips. Knowing the miles per tank can help drivers estimate how often they will need to refuel and manage their travel budget accordingly.
How to Calculate Miles Per Tank?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Miles Per Tank.
- First, determine the miles per gallon (MPG) the vehicle can travel.
- Next, determine the tank size (TS) in gallons.
- Next, gather the formula from above = MPT = MPG * TS.
- Finally, calculate the Miles Per Tank (MPT).
- 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.
Miles per gallon (MPG) = 25 mpg
Tank size (TS) = 12 gallons
