I'm travelling yet I feel like an idiot ....?

[MariaAustin]

I will drive somewhere that's 372 miles away.

My car fills up with 12 gals and that costs me about $30

the mpg is 36-40 in (highway)


My stupid math said that i would only fill once?? im confused. this is my first time driving far. in my defense, I've only been driving for 4 months. Im barely getting the hang of what mpg means haha!

Hi maria
it will be very arduous for you as you will need to take breaks in this journey. you may well need set out the day before you make this trip so an overnight stop could be needed.
as after even 200 miles you are going to get tired.
you will need to sleep even if it is for 4 hours before continuing.
the concentration alone is what causes the need to take breaks and have a sleep.
so take regular breaks cups of coffee do help but sometimes sleep is the only cure.
what is amazing for us in other parts of the world is how cheap your fuel is. so yes you will need to put some more fuel in the tank. here the same journey would cost us 150 dollars so it does take some which in my case is 15 gallons.
