It's going to totally depend on the country you're in, the country you're travelling to, and the time of year that you're travelling. There are just way too many variables to offer up a suggestion with this.

Expert Answer

Airlines basically orient their prices to take advantage of business travelers, but as an average consumer it's really hard to make sense of it. The prices can definitely seem random sometimes, so it helps to keep a regular tab on ticket prices.

Question

How do I predict my time of arrival?

Community Answer

If you know your average miles per hour, you can divide the distance to your destination by average miles per hour to get how long it would take. Just add that to your current time to get your time of arrival.

Question

Going 4000 kilometers at 110km/liter is how much?

Community Answer

It depends on the price of fuel, but the general equation would be "cost of travel = price of fuel in gallons x (distance / average MPG (miles per gallon)".

Question

How do I calculate how much gas I've used?

Community Answer

First you need to know the MPG, or miles-per-gallon, of your car. Assuming 'm' is miles per gallon, 'd' is distance traveled in miles, and G is the amount of gas you've used: G=d/m. Or, in simpler terms, your gas used is your distance traveled divided by your miles per gallon.
