Americans are ready to hit the road this Memorial Day weekend despite the record high gas prices they’ll be paying along the way.<\/p>\n

According to AAA, 34.9 million people are expected to travel more than 50 miles by car for the holiday.<\/p>\n

That’s an increase of 4.6% from last year, but still short of the 37.6 million record set in 2019 before the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Back then gas cost less than $3 per gallon, while it will be over $4.50 on average this year.<\/p>\n

And 50 miles is just the minimum, with many trips much longer than that.<\/p>\n

Data analytics firm Inrix told Fox News Autos that a typical trip originating in the Seattle area where it is headquartered, for instance, will be 93.8 miles.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, the EPA provides a fuel cost calculator that can be set for any make or model of vehicle and the local gas price to estimate how much they cost to drive in 25-mile increments, so we’ve taken a look at what the total is for traveling 100 miles in some popular models that are indicative of their respective vehicle classes:<\/p>\n

Ford F-150<\/h2>\n

\n The Ford F-150 is Ford’s top model.
\n (Ford)<\/p>\n

Ford’s best-seller is rated at 20 mpg with its most popular EcoBoost 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 option and two-wheel-drive, which means a 100-mile trip will run you $22.48 at $4.50 per gallon. Make that $30 in California, where gas is over $6 per gallon.<\/p>\n

Toyota Rav4<\/h2>\n

The most fuel efficient version of the Rav4 that’s not a hybrid gets 30 mpg, so an average 100-mile trip will cost $15, or $20 in California. Switching to the 40 mpg hybrid model will drop those figures to $11.24 and $15.<\/p>\n

Toyota Camry<\/h2>\n

The Toyota Camry’s entry-level four-cylinder front-wheel-drive powertrain has a 32 mpg combined rating, which results in 100-mile trip prices of $14.08 on average and $18.76 in California.<\/p>\n

Tesla Model 3<\/h2>\n

Insulated from gas price fluctuations, a Tesla Model 3 Long Range with all-wheel-drive charged at home will cost just $3.6 to charge per 100-mile trip.<\/p>\n
