How much would it cost to travel from Chicago il to Houston tx in a 1996 Chrysler sebring jxi?

Answer 1

First you have to pick which car you have.

Sedans
4 cyl, 2.0 L, Man(5), City 22 Highway 31
4 cyl, 2.0 L, Auto(4), City 21 Highway 30
6 cyl, 2.5 L, Auto(4), City 20 Highway 27

Convertibles
4 cyl, 2.4 L, Auto(4) City 20 Highway 29
6 cyl, 2.5 L, Auto(4), City 20 Highway 28


It is 1,177 mi.

Taking the average of all of the vehicles' highway milage, you are looking at 29 miles per gallon. It is unlikely you will get this number unless you maintain a constant 60-ish miles per hour but we will use this number for the sake of argument.

This trip will require 40.6 gallons of fuel.


Now you need to find an average gas cost per gallon.
Current (as of 10/6/05) average in Chicago is 2.924 per gallon
Current average in Houston is 2.891 per gallon.
The average of these 2. $2.9075


Therefore $2.9075 x 40.6 = $118.0445
