1998 Toyota Camry, manual or automatic transmission? 4 or 6 cylinders? Expected fuel economy will differ: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/1998_Toyota_Camry.shtml how well maintained is the vehicle? how much stuff are you carrying (or towing)? What speeds will you be going? How efficiently do you usually drive? What will the road conditions be like (weather, road type)? These are factors that you can somewhat control, and can also make a big difference on your fuel economy. I'll assume that you have a v6 automatic and will drive such that you'll achieve the EPA combined estimate of 20MPG. Your actual driving abilities may differ. I'll also use the US average for regular gasoline for 6/30/2008, at $4.095/gallon. You may find higher or lower prices depending where you stop for gasoline. http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/gdu/gasdiesel.asp (You may find more current/local pricing data at http://www.fuelgaugereport.com/ ) http://maps.google.com/ lists a trip from New York, NY to Omaha, NE as 1,241 miles. Your actual route may differ. 1241 miles / 20 miles/gallon = 1241 miles * 1/20 gallons/mile = 62.05 gallons 62.05 gallons * $4.095/gallon = $254.09 You could also figure that out by calculating the cost per mile. 1 gallon of gasoline costs $4.095. at 20 miles/gallon, you can go 1/20 of a mile on 1 gallon of gasoline. $4.095/gallon / 20 miles/gallon = $0.20475/mile. $0.20475/mile * 1241 miles = $254.09. (that's just the cost in gasoline. That doesn't include any costs for wear to the vehicle.)
