General Fuel Cost Calculator
Estimates fuel required and fuel cost from trip distance, fuel economy in litres per 100 kilometres and price per litre.
How it works
Fuel use and trip cost
Formula and assumptions
Fuel needed = distance × consumption rate ÷ 100. Trip fuel cost = fuel needed × price per litre. Actual consumption varies with traffic, driving style, load and vehicle condition.
Example
Use the sample values, calculate, and change one input at a time.
