How to calculate how many you can earn with a car - Wouter - 2015-02-23 16:53

Hello,

I want to calculate the difference with the income by driving between LX4 and XFG.
But i don't know how to do it.

I'm thinking about this now:

Average speed (m/s) = Average speed (km/h) / 3,6
Distance to income = Average speed (m/s) * Earning interval (5 seconds)
Average distance per coin = Distance to income / Coins (with XFG you earn 4 coins, when your speed is good)
Coins per kilometer = Kilometer (1000 meter) / Average distance per coin
Total earned with car = Coins per kilometer * Lifespan car (in KM, 30.000 for XFG)

Is this the good way? I don't think so, but maybe it is.

Its easy, stay within the limits on both and you will find out you will earn more with the XFG as it is a +4 car not a +3 car.

At or around the speed limit, the LX4 earns +3 every 5 seconds whilst the XFG earns +4 every 5 seconds. You can do the maths to work out the rest.

Honestly, you could simply do a test Smile

Grab an XRG or any +4 value car. Or any car you want really.
Record how much money you currently have.
Drive speed limits for 5-10 minutes.
Record how much money you have now.
Calculate how much you have earned.
Divide that by the number of minutes you have driven.
That should give you the average number of euros earned per minute.

Use your numbers from there to calculate how long it would take to earn so much with a +4 value car Smile

Correct me if I am wrong, I'm not a statistic person, I'm a mechanical person Tongue

Sorry for the bump, but the point is, i want to calculate it without driving it.

But, it this a good formula:

Average speed (m/s) = Average speed (km/h) / 3,6
Distance to income = Average speed (m/s) * Earning interval (5 seconds)
Average distance per coin = Distance to income / Coins (with XFG you earn 4 coins, when your speed is good)
Coins per kilometer = Kilometer (1000 meter) / Average distance per coin
Total earned with car = Coins per kilometer * Lifespan car (in KM, 30.000 for XFG)

That means i can earn more than € 1.000.000 with XFG (If you say average speed is 50 km/h)! I can't believe it. But is the formula true?
