Auto Fuel

Unleaded regular (89 octane) gasoline costs $2.20 to $2.50 per US gallon (3.79 liters, 0.83 imperial gallon) in New England,

 

Fuel costs more if you buy it in the very center of a larger city, which you need not do.

Smaller cars ("subcompact" and "compact" in car-rental terminology) normally have fuel efficiencies of about 25 to 35 miles per gallon, which means that the cost of fuel works out to about 7¢ to 9¢ per mile (that's 4.5¢ to 5.6¢ per kilometer).

Thus the cost of fuel to drive between Boston and New York City (205 miles) would be $14.35 to $18.45, depending upon the car and your driving habits.
