Cost To Drive 1,000 Miles

For long trips that last only a few days, it’s often cheaper to rent a car than to drive your own. But the decision to rent depends on many factors: the trip’s mileage, leasing costs, fuel efficiency, how much your car depreciates with each mile, tire wear, and the price of oil changes.

According to this infographic by Pick Analysis, some popular car models can travel for 30 to 50 miles after the gas light goes on. The average Chevrolet Silverado will continue for 33 miles beyond “empty.” Volkswagen Jettas average more than 43 miles, and the Toyota Corolla tops the list at 47 miles.

As a general rule, most cars have about 2.5 gallons left in the tank when the gas light comes on. So depending on how many miles you get per gallon, you can probably go anywhere between 30-60 miles.

Non-hybrid models average between 35-45 miles for a range on empty. These numbers are just averages. Actual mileage will vary depending on many factors. It is advised to fill up your gas tanks a soon as you can once the gauge hits empty.

It depends on the speed driven, if 60 mph is the average speed, that would be 1 mile per minute, so 30 miles would take 30 minutes.

1 Expert Answer Since 30 minutes is 1/2 of an hour, you will drive 1/2 of 40 miles, or 20 miles.

A quick way to figure this out in your head is to know that 60 mph equals one mile per minute. 30 mph would be one mile per two minutes, 15 mph would be one mile per four minutes, etc.

1/80 hours

You can do the math. x hrs = 1 mile. x = 1/20 hrs or (1/20 * 60) minutes = 3 minutes.

It takes 1/40th of an hour to travel a mile if you travel at 40 miles per hour. It takes 2 1/2 hours to travel 2.5 miles. It takes 3 1/2 minutes.

If you travel at 40 miles per hour then it takes you 1/40th of an hour to travel a mile. Hence to travel 2.5 miles it takes 2 1/2 × 1/40 = 1/16 = 0.0625 hours. In Minutes that’s 0.0625 × 60 = 3.75 so it takes 3 3/4 minutes.

How many steps in a mile? An average person has a stride length of approximately 2.1 to 2.5 feet. That means that it takes over 2,000 steps to walk one mile and 10,000 steps would be almost 5 miles. A sedentary person may only average 1,000 to 3,000 steps a day.

Mile: A mile is 1.61 kilometers or 5280 feet. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to walk 1 mile at a moderate pace.
