Question

You and your friends are organizing a trip to Europe. Your plan is to rent a car and drive through the major European capitals. By consulting a map you estimate that you will cover a total distance of 5000 . Consider the euro-dollar exchange rate given in the introduction and use dimensional analysis to work through these simple problems. You select a rental package that includes a car with an average consumption of 6.00 liters of fuel per 100 . Considering that in Europe the average fuel cost is 1.063 euros/liter , how much (in US dollars) will you spend in fuel on your trip? How many gallons of fuel would the rental car consume per mile?

Explanation / Answer

1 dollar=0.75 euro

per 100 km,we need 6 ltr

so net petrol required=

5000/(100/6)=300 ltr

net cost=300*1.063=318.9 euro=$425.2

1 gallon=3.78541 liter

so net fuel requirement in terms of gallons=79.251 gallons
