Im driving from boston to dallas, its 1,813 miles, anyone wanna do the math?

-so its 1,813 miles, im taking a uhaul with a hitch for my blazer. the tuck gets



7 miles to the gallon. ( which is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!)



and gas is about $3 a gallon



how much will it cost me for this trip?????





thanx im sucking at this big time lol :~(Hi:



I think it more like 15 to 20 mph but I say fifteen but since you say it 7, So we go with that



1813/7 = 259 gallon for the whole trip there



and 259 * 3 = 777 dollar



but the realistic idea



1813 /15 = 120 gallon



120 * 3 = 360 dollar in gas



Also remember you hauling a U haul trailer and it what draging the miles down out of the truck as well as the road stop and starting



as for sucking at math, Don't worry, a lot a people are like that, that why they made this website to help people like you out.



I hope this helpsDont count on 7 mpg, it can vary due to weather and traffic. Biggest factor is how you drive it. Have you checked with the other rental companies for a comparable price on like equipment? Diesel may be more expensive, but pay for itself in mileage.



Driving tips. Keep speed under 60, the point at which wind resistance really starts playing a part. No idling, turn the thing off each time you stop. Accelerate slowly, the harder you punch it, the harder it drinks. It is OK to lose speed uphill, don't punch it to keep up with traffic in left lane.



Gas -- use your current prices in Boston, usually higher there due to your taxes. Still, we are barely under $3 here in Texas, and it will be high in between. Check the truck stop sites to locate best prices. Don't bother with a trucker's calculator, you don't file IFTA. The cash price is what you pay. WalMart gas can be cheaper if you have a store card, 3cpg savings. See if your local store has an atlas with store locations in the back.



Route. I got 1764, but you may wish to make other stops along the way. Your 1813 may include the options of staying out of NYC and off the heavy traffic on I-81. Makes good sense!
777 is about right, however if that is the 26' U-Haul truck, I don't think it does that good. I'd go with about 5 miles per gallon instead. If your really close on money you would need to figure in extra money in case you get a truck that doesn't do as good. I believe you had another question and I stated to contact Budget Truck Rental & Penske Truck Rental. There larger trucks are diesel and they get 7-9 miles per gallon.
Kat has the right idea, and is reminding you that you are probably computing the trailer at empty weight. Also, gas is more than $3/gallon, in many areas is more than $3.19. A more realistic expense is in excess of $800 for gasoline.
$777

BUT more the truck weighs, the worse your gas mileage get
777 dollars



1813 mi / 7 mil/gal gives you how many gallons you will spend.



259 x 7 is 777 dollars.
