How do you Calculate auto cost per mile?

Answer:

One straightforward way to calucate auto cost per mile (if your only taking fuel consumption into account) is: Price per gallon of fuel divided by the vehicle's average Miles per Gallon.

e.g., $3.80 per gallon / 22MPG = 0.172727 per mile

therefore, it would cost $ 0.173 per mile or 17.3 cents per mile.

Other factors such as vehicle deprecation, tolls, oil use, insurance also should be considered in account but would complicate the equation.
