Figured I'd ask here, it has nothing to do with homework but would be useful information for me.

Planning a road trip that is approximately 1300 miles one way. I'll be driving a vehicle gets around 40 mile per gallon highway, the car has a standard 13 gallon tank. At $4.00 a gallon (yick!) how much approx. will it cost for the entire round trip?

1300/40 = 32.5 gallons for one way, 65 for whole trip, 65 x 4 = total cost which is $260
