Very few people are concerned with planning where to stop for gas on cross-country trips. Many people are concerned with how much the trip will cost.

This is exactly what I'm talking about: it's fucking simple math: if your car gets 20mpg, then going 100 miles will take you 5 gallons. 100 miles, divided by 20 miles per gallon, equals 5 gallons. Easy, see?

If you're trying to figure out how much it will COST, you're doing the SAME FUCKING MATH anyway, figuring dollars per volume per distance.
