How fuel cost is calculated

Fuel needed equals trip distance divided by fuel economy. Multiply the required fuel by the price per liter or gallon to estimate total trip fuel cost.

Real-world fuel use variesTraffic, speed, terrain, weather, load, tire pressure and driving style can all change actual fuel economy.

Metric and US fuel economy

Metric mode uses kilometers per liter. US mode uses miles per US gallon. Switching modes converts the current values so the same trip remains approximately equivalent.

Common questions

Does the calculator use liters per 100 km?

No. Metric fuel economy is entered as km/L. If your vehicle reports L/100 km, divide 100 by that value to get km/L.

Which gallon does US mode use?

US mode uses the US liquid gallon, not the Imperial gallon.

How is cost per passenger calculated?

Total estimated fuel cost is divided equally by the number of passengers you enter.
