A fuel cell is not involved in propelling a hybrid electric vehicle. Suppose you owned an HEV that gets an average gas mileage of 41 miles per gallon. If gas costs $3.58 per gallon, how much will it cost you in gas to drive for a year if you drive 16.500 miles?

Explanation / Answer

Hybrid car:

hybrid comes from "two types" i.e. the gasoline engine as a main equipment and the extra electric motor (battery operated) motor

choose B

2)

rate= 41 mpg

$ gas = 3.58/gal

drive 1 year --> 16500 miles

calculate how much gallons you need

Vol in gals = 16500 miles / (41 miles per galon )= 402.44 galons are needed

then change to USD

1 gl = 3.58

then

402.44 *3.58 = $1440.7352 USD per year
