To find the annual gasoline cost, first calculate the total gallons of gasoline needed by dividing the total miles driven by the miles per gallon: 13,000 miles / 18 mpg = 722.22 gallons. Then, multiply the total gallons by the cost per gallon: 722.22 gallons * $2.50 = $1,805.55, which rounds to approximately $1,806.
