Start with a full tank of gas. Note the mileage on the odometer. When it's time to fill up, note the ending mileage and the number of gallons it takes to refill the gas tank. Subtract the ending mileage from the beginning mileage to determine how many miles you went on that tank of gas. Divide that number of miles by the number of gallons it took to fill the tank.

Example:

Starting mileage: 12,000

Ending mileage: 12,360

Total miles driven on tank: 360

Gallons of gas to refill tank: 14

So, 360/14 = 25.7 miles per gallon

It is impossible to answer your question because you did not list the miles per gallon your vehicle gets. But this is very easy to figure. As an example if your vehicle gets 25 miles per gallon, divide 25 into 525. Your answer will be 21. This will tell you the number of gallons necessary to make the trip. Multiply 21 times $3.65 and you get $76.65. Use your real miles per gallon to figure this.
