Fuel Cost

The fuel economy of an automobile is the fuel-efficiency relationship between the distance traveled and the amount of fuel consumed by the vehicle.

Fuel cost equals the product of fuel consumption, price per volume and distance. Fuel economy is the reciprocal of fuel consumption.

Formula

{QuantityVariable["C", "Money"] == QuantityVariable["D", "Distance"]*QuantityVariable["FC", "FuelConsumption"]*QuantityVariable["P", "MoneyPerVolume"], QuantityVariable["FC", "FuelConsumption"] == QuantityVariable["FE", "FuelEconomy"]^(-1)}

Examples

Get the resource:

In[1]:=
ResourceObject["Fuel Cost"]
Out[1]=

Get the formula:

In[2]:=
FormulaData[ResourceObject["Fuel Cost"]]
Out[2]=

Use some values:

In[3]:=
FormulaData[
 ResourceObject[
  "Fuel Cost"], {QuantityVariable["C","Money"] -> 
   Quantity[5.5`3., "USDollars"], 
  QuantityVariable["D","Distance"] -> Quantity[100, "Miles"]}]
Out[3]=
