How much gas would you use driving for ten hours?

It really depends on the mpg your car gets and how fast your average speed was. Another key change would be if you were accelerating slowly or quickly. So lets say for example, your car has 21 mpg on the highway. And you were going to drive for 10 hours (without stops) on the highway. On the highway your average speed was 63 miles per hour. (this can be calculated by knowing how many miles you drove and divide it by the hours it took you to get there.) You would be using 3 gallons per hour. Taking that number and multiplying it by the number of hours you were driving (10) You can figure out that you spent 30 gallons of gas. ---Mind you, there are many variables that can change this number. The number of times you get off the highway for one. The amount of times you start your car on this trip, (Yes it does take some gas to achieve ignition.) The amount of gas you burn by accelerating on the on ramp, (This can be lessened by accelerating slower or more fluidly.) And many others.---
