Hi! I have a question: I drive a 2005 Honda
To estimate the cost of gas for your one-way trip from Alexandria, Virginia, to Burlington, Vermont in your 2005 Honda Accord, we first need to determine the miles per gallon (MPG) that your vehicle achieves.
According to various sources, the 2005 Honda Accord has a fuel efficiency ranging from about 19 MPG in city driving to approximately 34 MPG on the highway, with an average combined MPG of around 25.07 (source: Fuel Economy, Fuelly, Cars.com).
Next, we will need to calculate the distance of your trip and the estimated cost of gas:
-
Distance: The approximate distance between Alexandria, VA and Burlington, VT is about 540 miles.
-
Fuel Efficiency: For this calculation, let's use a highway MPG of about 28 (which is a middle ground between the lower city and higher highway estimates).
-
Total Gallons Needed: [ \text{Total gallons needed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{MPG}} = \frac{540 \text{ miles}}{28 \text{ MPG}} \approx 19.29 \text{ gallons} ]
-
Gas Price: Assuming a gas price of $3.50 per gallon (please check local prices as they can fluctuate), we can calculate the cost: [ \text{Total cost} = \text{Total gallons} \times \text{Gas price} = 19.29 \text{ gallons} \times 3.50 \text{ USD/gallon} \approx 67.52 \text{ USD} ]
In summary, you can expect to spend approximately $67.52 in gas for a one-way trip from Alexandria, Virginia to Burlington, Vermont in your 2005 Honda Accord, assuming an average highway fuel economy and current gas prices. Be sure to check your vehicle's specific fuel efficiency and local gas prices for a more accurate estimate.
