For round trip:
+2%2A193+=+386+ mi
[ miles ] / [ miles/gallon ] = [ gallons ]
+386%2F22+=+17.545+ gal
[ dollars/gallon ] x [ gallons ] = [ dollars ]
+3.5%2A17.545+=+61.409+ dollars
-----------------------
+%28+40%2F3000+%29%2A386+=+5.1467+ dollars
-----------------------
+920+ for tires
-----------------------
+%28+328%2F15000+%29%2A386+=+8.441+ dollars
-----------------------
Total cost:
+61.409+%2B+5.147+%2B+920+%2B+8.441+=+994.997+
