1. what time will i arrive at my destination and how many hours
You have to specify the speed.
===========================
3. how much gas will i use
256 mi/20 mi/gal = 12.8 gallons
===========
2. how much will my trip cost
12.8 gallons * $3.35/gallon = $42.88
----------
The 15 gallon fillup is not relevant.
