1. it depends on the design. the larger the gas tank or batteries the farther it will go, some tractor trailer trucks can go 3000 miles without a refill. most gas cars are 200 to 300 miles most electrics are 20 to 500 miles hybrid car, no clue. but there is only about 5 on the market right now, should be possible to look up.
2. This is a tough one to answer given the small amount of information. The number of miles the car can go before refueling depends on how many miles per gallon the car gets and the number of gallons in the tank (at least for the gas engine and hybrid). The number of miles per gallon multiplied by the number of gallons in the tank would give you how many miles you could go before refueling. Example: 30 mpg x 10 gallon tank = 300 miles
3. ok this is a variable and this is when you need to understand alegbra: the size of tank (gas) holds 10 gallons(for example) this number will represented by the letter T.Each gallon of gas will supply you with enough energy to go ....say....30 miles (mpg) so you do the math once you arrive at your variables Txmpg=D ...and so on...
4. I can tell you most converted electric cars go between 40-80 miles before recharge. Production electric cars (from the 90's and now) can go between 80-250 miles before recharge.
