You can put this solution on YOUR website!
R, fuel efficiency, miles per gallon
P, price, dollars per gallon
D, given number of miles distance
D%281%2FR%29--------how many gallons

D%281%2FR%29P--------the cost for going distance D.

highlight_green%28%28DP%29%2FR%29-------slightly rewritten, the cost to go distance D.

ABOUT How much cost to go 75 miles,
given r is from 22 to 28
and
p is from 3.75 to 3.95
-
d%28p%2Fr%29
system%2875%283.75%2F28%29+%2C+to+%2C++75%283.95%2F22%29%29
and you probably want the middle of these.
