Formula

cost = distance × multiplier ÷ mpg × price

Example

250 miles at 28 mpg with $3.50 gas ≈ $31 one way, $63 round trip.

Splitting costs

Dividing the result by passengers gives a fair per-person contribution before tolls. Highway driving usually beats the rated figure; city stop-start falls below it.
