The answer depends on how many cars they are pulling. 3 imp. gal. per mile is the average. This sounds bad, but you could 150 rail cars of freight with that.
miles ÷ (miles/gallon) * ($/gallon) = miles * (gallons/mile) * ($/gallon) = (miles * gallons * $) / (miles * gallons) = $ So divide 560 mi by the vehicle's fuel economy, then multiply the quotient by the fuel cost.
It can vary greatly depending on the type of service the locomotive is used for. They can be as small as 600 gallons and as large as 8,000 gallons. Most freight locomotives in the USA have a fuel tank in the 3,000 to 3,600 gallon range.
30+ miles per gallon
8 miles a gallon.
(62.14 miles/5.78 litres) x (3.7854 litres/gallon) = 40.696 miles/gallon
8 miles per gallon City, 12 miles per gallon Highway. Combined average of 10 miles per gallon.
That depends on the price of fuel per gallon.
700
In the 2009 Mazda 3, the fuel economy is 24 miles per gallon in the city, and 32 miles per gallon on the highway. 2010 statistics are 18 miles per gallon in the city, and 25 miler per gallon on the highway.
The fuel tank on a locomotive is under the locomotive body, between the trucks.
That would be the number of miles (city miles or highway miles or a combination of) the vehicle can go on 1 gallon of fuel.
Miles driven divided by fuel used. Miles/gallon
