How to calculate gas cost per mile?
Gas Cost Per Mile = Gas Price / MPG. At $3.80/gallon and 28 MPG: $3.80/28 = $0.136/mile. For a 45-mile trip: 45 x $0.136 = $6.11 in fuel costs.
How to reduce fuel costs for gig work?
Maintain correct tire pressure (improves MPG by 0.5-3%). Use GasBuddy to find cheapest gas. Use cruise control on highways. Avoid hard acceleration. Switch to a more fuel-efficient vehicle if driving 1,000+ miles/week.
Does gas price significantly affect gig worker profitability?
Yes. A $1/gallon increase costs a gig worker driving 15,000 miles/year at 28 MPG an extra $535/year. At 25,000 miles/year, it's $893/year. Track this in your expense calculations monthly.
