# Calculates time, gallons of gas used, and cost of gasoline for
# a trip

distance = float(raw_input("Input distance of trip in miles: "))
mpg = 30.               # car mileage
speed = 60.             # average speed
costPerGallon = 4.10    # price of gas

time = distance/speed
gallons = distance/mpg
cost = gallons*costPerGallon

print("\nDuration of trip = {0:0.1f} hours".format(time))
print("Gasoline used = {0:0.1f} gallons (@ {1:0.0f} mpg)"
	  .format(gallons, mpg))
print("Cost of gasoline = ${0:0.2f} (@ ${1:0.2f}/gallon)"
	  .format(cost, costPerGallon))









    



Input distance of trip in miles: 450

Duration of trip = 7.5 hours
Gasoline used = 15.0 gallons (@ 30 mpg)
Cost of gasoline = $61.50 (@ $4.10/gallon)

The total distance $x$ traveled during a trip can be obtained by integrating the velocity $v(t)$ over the duration $T$ of the trip: \begin{align} x = \int_0^T v(t)\, dt \end{align}
